Ensemble Habits of Mind: Which Are Taught (and Not Taught) in High School Music?
Fri, May 5, 4:15 to 5:45pm CDT (4:15 to 5:45pm CDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, Arts and Learning SIG Virtual Paper RoomAbstract
Polling suggests that the general public greatly values music education. I argue this is because of the generalizable habits of mind taught. Through analysis of systematic observation from rehearsals of traditional ensembles, eight Ensemble Habits of Mind emerged: Evaluate, Express, Imagine, Listen, Notice, Participate in Community, Persist, and Set Goals & Be Prepared. This study reveals similarities with the parallel work identifying Studio Habits of Mind in visual arts education (Hetland et al., 2013). Two habits of mind that were specifically sought out because they are frequently reported in advocacy arguments, Use Creativity and Recognize More than One Correct Answer, were not observed even under broad inclusion criteria. Suggestions are given for the practical application of these findings.
