One-to-one lessons are ubiquitous in music education, and thus understanding the components of effective teaching in this environment is essential for student learning. This study explored whether the teaching elements identified in previous studies were evident with applied music teachers working with both college and pre-college students, and if those elements differed as a function of the level of the students. In addition, these teachers were asked to provide commentary on what they deemed important to effective studio teaching. I examined video recordings of 18 lessons given by two applied teachers who had received formal recognition for outstanding teaching. Many of the observations in this study were consistent with previous findings; however, higher rates of low magnitude positive feedback and student errors that did not elicit stops were present. One element regarding physical proximity was added. The findings indicate important differences in the way these teachers approach students at different levels, particularly regarding side coaching during performance, teacher modeling, feedback, and correction of errors. Participants also emphasized the importance of rapport and positive relationships.

The purpose of this autoethnographic multiple case study was to compare experiences of two first-generation college students pursuing doctoral degrees in music education. Motivations for pursuing an advanced degree were to enact change in the field of music education and fulfill personal ambitions. Participants encountered two challenges, insufficient cognitive maps and inadequate familial support, which contributed to financial difficulties and health issues. Support networks inside and outside of their music education doctoral programs facilitated degree attainment. Participants lacked the cultural capital needed to navigate higher education because of their first-generation status. Instead, participants employed several forms of community cultural wealth: social, navigational, resistant, and familial capital. Through examining each other’s experiences, we offer suggestions for preparing and supporting a more diverse group of future music teacher educators.

This paper provides an in-depth study and analysis of music education to improve the mental health of college students in the context of 5G and for practical application. How to explore the ideas and methods of using music education to channel and resolve the psychological problems of this student group and then help them shape a healthy and upward psychological state, based on field research on the psychological and emotional health of contemporary higher education students, becomes an important issue that needs to be solved in front of most music educators. Musical emotions are not only related to the acoustic properties of music but also closely related to the age, gender, musical background, and social cognition of individuals. To explore the neural mechanisms by which musical rhythm affects emotional processing, it is necessary not only to achieve reasonable manipulation of rhythmic variables but also to effectively control for relevant additional variables, to clarify the relationship between rhythm and musical emotion from a theoretical perspective, and to provide operational guidance significance for bringing into play the mental health value of musical emotion. Discuss the commonalities and mutual assistance between the interactional music classroom and humanistic and positive psychology in terms of ideological connotations. Discuss the practical implications of humanistic psychology and its derivation of positive psychology in terms of self-actualization, student-centered view of education, associated integration and developmental educational values, psychological fluency experience, positive emotions, positive self, and positive motivation, which have common ideas with the philosophical theory of interaction, for the interactive music classroom. The characteristics and role of the music teacher in the interacting music classroom from a psychological perspective are described in terms of both teacher psychological construction and teaching attitudes. The enrichment of the ideas, psychological laws, and experiences in humanistic and positive psychology on the model of the interacting music classroom guided by the philosophical theory of interaction is discussed, divided into four subsections: suggestions for classroom goal setting, suggestions for teaching methods, teacher-student evaluation, and teaching fragment design, aimed at making teachers and students interact easily and happily and live soberly and creatively.

The purpose of this study was to determine (1) what terminology from their own vocabulary subjects would use to label music concepts and (2) if consistent terminology would be selected by children in grades two, three, and four, and by college students majoring in elementary or music education. A group-listening test was administered to the subjects. One music concept was varied in each of the 10 presentations of a well-known melody. Subjects were asked to write a word that described the characteristic change in each playing. When correctly describing music concepts, subjects of all ages used consistent and traditional terminology. However, when incorrect terms were chosen, there was little similarity in vocabulary between children and adults.
