Abstract
Following more than half a century of resistance to popular music in the classroom, modern band programs have proliferated in the United States since the early 2000s. Supported in part by the music education nonprofit Little Kids Rock (LKR), proponents of modern band aim to engage more students in school music and to support creative, student-centered music-making. The present study examined responses to the 2019 LKR end-of-year teacher survey and found that program participation has grown substantially in recent years, but is concentrated in a few urban areas. Teachers perceived that modern band expanded access to music education by engaging more students while also making themselves more committed to the teaching profession. With respect to student learning, teachers perceived that modern band allowed for nonmusical outcomes, including academic motivation and the creation of classroom social bonds. To a lesser extent, teachers perceived that students achieved creative outcomes, such as composition and improvisation.
在经历了半个多世纪对课堂流行音乐的抵制之后,自21世纪初以来,现代乐队项目在美国激增。在音乐教育非营利组织Little Kids Rock (LKR)的部分支持下,现代乐队的支持者旨在让更多的学生参与到学校音乐中来,并支持创造性的、以学生为中心的音乐制作。本研究调查了对2019年LKR年终教师调查的回应,发现近年来参与该计划的人数大幅增加,但主要集中在少数城市地区。教师们认为,现代乐队通过吸引更多的学生来扩大音乐教育的机会,同时也使他们更加致力于教学职业。在学生学习方面,教师认为现代乐队允许非音乐的结果,包括学术动机和课堂社会关系的建立。在较小程度上,教师认为学生取得了创造性成果,如作曲和即兴创作。
