    INTRODUCTION

    Welcome! We are excited to have you join us as a music education student at the Fred

    Fox School of Music. The mission of the Music Education Area is three-pronged:

    (1) to foster strong music educators who are versed in best pedagogical practices

    and demonstrate the highest quality performance standards;

    (2) to produce scholarly output vital to the enhancement of our field and develop

    the scholarship of our students; and

    (3) to facilitate and participate in meaningful community engagement through

    music education.

    This Handbook is intended to provide you with the information and resources to

    successfully navigate a degree in music education at both the undergraduate and

    graduate levels. The information contained in this Handbook should serve as a

    supplement to the official Undergraduate and Graduate Handbooks of the FFSoM. If

    any information in this Handbook contradicts the Undergraduate and/or Graduate

    Handbooks, then the language in said Handbooks will take precedence.

    FACULTY CONTACTS

    The following contact information is provided to guide you to appropriate faculty during

    your educational journey. Faculty web pages and biographical information can be found

    UNDERGRADUATE

    Program Involvement

    At the undergraduate level, the music education major is unique in that students do not

    take most classes from music education faculty until they are well into their program,

    with the exception of MUS250. This delay may lead to feelings of isolation, frustration,

    and detachment. Please know that opportunities exist for you to get involved as music

    educators even during your first year. Opportunities, including faculty contact, are listed

    below. Be sure to read emails distributed to the music education student listserv for

    other opportunities, as well. You are a valued member of the program and although you

    may not be taking any classes with a music education faculty member, please know that

    we are here for you.

    Advising

    The primary advisor for undergraduate students is David McGuiggan, Undergraduate

    Academic Advisor (Rm. 102B, [email protected]). Music education students

    should feel free to consult with a member of the music education faculty member prior

    to meeting with Mr. McGuiggan in order to discuss intended career path and the music

    education courses that would best prepare you for success in that endeavor. Any of us

    would be happy to meet with you, but it would be best if you contact the faculty member

    most related to your area of interest.

    Observation/Practicum Scheduling

    Once you pass MUS250 and the Music Education Advisory Review (MEAR), you will

    begin taking music education methods courses. Each of these courses is intended to

    synthesize information gained earlier in your degree program as well as continue to

    build your abilities as a music educator. Part of the course requirements may be to

    complete observation or practicum hours outside of class time. While this decision is left

    to the discretion of the individual instructor, it would be to your benefit to plan ahead

    when scheduling your courses. If you leave at least a two-hour block of time between

    7:00am-3:00pm one day a week when taking a methods course, you should have plenty

    of time to complete the additional requirements without causing yourself undue stress.

    IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card

    All music education students must possess a current and accurate IVP Fingerprint

    Clearance Card issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) after enrolling

    in MUS250. If you lost your current card or need to change information, please visit:

    https://www.azdps.gov/services/public/fingerprint and follow the directions. (Fill out a

    form, and send in $5.00 for the replacement card.) If you do not have your IVP

    Fingerprint Clearance Card, following is the information you need to obtain one.

    All fingerprinting costs about the same no matter where you go for fingerprinting:

    $67.00 (money order or cashier's check) for the actual AZ Department of Public Safety

    (DPS) fee and typically $10.00 (cash) for the person/business doing the fingerprinting.

    The easiest option for UA students is Fieldprint Services. University Postal, located at

    1718 E. Speedway Blvd., is a Fieldprint site contracted with the AZ DPS. The cost is

    $74.95 (which includes the $67 fee that goes to the DPS). One makes an appointment

    online, pays via credit card, and goes to the location for fingerprinting. Helpful

    directions via screenshots can be found at the following link:

    https://www.coe.arizona.edu/sites/coe/files/Fieldprint%20Arizona%20instructions.pd

    f. Select the card, “IVP Paid Employee.”

    There are other fingerprint locations too, but these require obtaining the application

    and a blank card directly from the AZ DPS. Since students will be working in schools,

    they specifically need an IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card. More information from the AZ

    DPS website on this type of card is included below:

    You may request a packet directly from DPS by either calling (602) 223-2279 or

    faxing your request to (602) 223-2947. Office hours are Monday through Friday

  • 6

    from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you will be working in the education field (public

    or charter) and you are required to obtain a Fingerprint Clearance Card or if you

    will be doing student teaching or tutoring you will need to obtain an “Identity

    Verified Print” (IVP) Fingerprint Clearance Card, not the regular Fingerprint

    Clearance Card. When requesting an application packet please make sure you

    specify that you need the “IVP” application packet. Please ensure you affix

    sufficient postage to the envelope and place your return address in the top left

    corner of the envelope." Besides the College of Education, here are the other

    places in Tucson for fingerprinting once you obtain the card and application

    directly from the AZ DPS (each location, has specific days and times listed):

    http://uapd.arizona.edu/services-resources/fingerprints. You will usually need

    to bring:

    • A state or federal issued photo ID (not your CATCARD), with your address

    and signature displayed.

    • $10.00 cash, personal check, cashier's check or money order for fingerprints.

    • A $67 Cashier's Check or Money Order made payable to Arizona Department

    of Public Safety. No cash or personal checks will be accepted for this portion

    of the payment.

    Taken directly from: http://www.azdps.gov/services/fingerprint/.

    The whole process takes approximately 6-8 weeks from sending in prints to having a

    card-in-hand. Most schools will not let anyone formally observe or teach until the actual

    card arrives, but sometimes a copy of the application for fingerprint clearance will

    suffice if there was a previous fingerprint clearance card recently expired.

    Student Teaching

    It is required that you attend the Student-Teacher Orientation Meeting the semester

    prior to student teaching. Dates for the Student Teacher Orientation Meeting are

    advertised regularly; watch the music education listserv, as well as signs posted around

    the FFSoM. Full policies, procedures, and information are available at

    https://cfa.arizona.edu/students/office-of-field-experience/. It would be wise to

    familiarize yourself with this site once you begin music education methods coursework,

    especially after passing MUS250 and the MEAR. For any questions regarding student

    teaching, please contact Dr. Karin Nolan at [email protected].

    Program of Study

    Certification Requirements Arizona certification requires one of the following three options: AEPA/NES Exam

    AZ033: Constitutions of the United States and Arizona; enrollment in POL 210: U.S. and

    Arizona Constitutions (UA, 3 units); or enrollment in a similar course through many of

    the Arizona community colleges, such as Pima, Northland, Glendale CC, etc. If taking a

    course outside the UA, make sure the course covers both the US and AZ Constitutions

    and the course grade is transferred to your UA transcripts upon completion of the

    course.

    Additional Notes • Students may petition the Undergraduate Academic Advisor to substitute SERP 400:

    Survey of Exceptional Students for TLS 435.

    • A passing score on the Diagnostic Theory Exam is required to enroll in MUS 120A.

    MUS 119 is required for those students who do not pass.

  • 8

    • Demonstration of piano proficiency is required to enroll in MUS 210A. MUS 110A

    and MUS 110B are required for those students who do not pass.

    GRADUATE

    Major Professor

    As you progress through your degree program, begin thinking about which of the music

    education faculty members you will ask to be your major professor, who will also serve

    as chair of your committee. It is the role of the major professor to shepherd you through

    the end of your degree program and the creation of your final document. You will work

    primarily with your major professor on the document until the end stages, at which

    point the rest of the committee will become involved. M.M. students should approach

    the faculty member whom they would like to be their major professor during Semester

    2, while Ph.D. students should do so near the end of Semester 3 at the latest.

    When choosing a major professor, some factors to consider include: similarities in

    academic interests, alignment of intended document research methodology, personal

    rapport, and supervision style. You will find some faculty members to be more involved

    in certain aspects, and you should consider from what type of advising style you would

    benefit most. However, please understand that your first choice of major professor may

    not be able to serve, especially if they are already supervising multiple students.

    Advising

    The primary academic advisor for all graduate students is Dr. John Brobeck, Director of

    Graduate Studies (Rm. 228, [email protected]). Students should consult with

    the DGS each semester to ensure they are maintaining good academic progress.

    Students should also communicate regularly with a music education faculty mentor and

    the Music Education Area Coordinator in addition to meeting with the DGS in order to

    ensure degree and course content are aligned with intended goals. When assembling the

    initial Plan of Study, it is recommended that you meet with the Music Education Area

  • 12

    Coordinator to discuss the music education courses that would best meet your needs

    prior to finalizing the plan with the DGS.

    Degree Program Timeline

    For suggested timelines for both the M.M. and Ph.D. degrees, please refer to the FFSoM

    Graduate Handbook. Of particular importance are the timelines for the final documents

    (master’s project, master’s thesis, or doctoral dissertation) and oral exams/defenses.

    Students should plan for final documents to take at least two semesters to complete,

    with planning for dissertations often beginning in the spring of the second year. It is

    much better to communicate with your prospective major professor early in the degree

    program and keep them informed about your intentions. None of the final documents

    will be completed satisfactorily in a single semester. When planning for the final oral

    exam or document defense, you should work with your major professor to construct an

    appropriate timeline.

    Master’s Project versus Master’s Thesis

    Master’s students have the option to complete either a project or a thesis as their final

    document. This decision should be made in consultation with the major professor.

    Generally speaking, the project is appropriate for students for whom the M.M. will be a

    terminal degree and is intended to offer educators a chance to synthesize research into

    an executable plan. Those who may continue graduate work to earn a doctorate at some

    point in the future should choose to complete the thesis, which will offer the student an

    opportunity to design, implement, and evaluate a complete research project from

    beginning to end. Theses are overseen by the FFSoM Graduate Committee and UA

    Graduate College and are officially archived by the university upon completion, whereas

    projects are overseen by the Music Education Area and are housed locally.

  • 13

    Thesis and Dissertation Guidelines

    For master’s students choosing to complete a thesis for their final document, and

    doctoral students completing a dissertation, guidelines and expectations may be found

    in the FFSoM Graduate Handbook. Students should also pay particular attention to the

    official thesis and dissertation formatting guides required by the University of Arizona

    (available at https://grad.arizona.edu/gsas/dissertations-theses).

    Project Guidelines

    There is considerable flexibility in terms of the format, scope, and topic of the master’s

    project. The project does not have to be submitted to the FFSoM Graduate Committee.

    Therefore, it is especially critical that you communicate with your major professor in

    order to agree on specifics of the document.

    Proposal Following initial discussion with your major professor, you may be asked to submit a

    proposal. The purpose of the proposal is to help you to articulate your vision of the

    project and provide a groundwork on which to build. The proposal should be submitted

    no later than the beginning of the semester in which the project is to be completed. The

    specific proposal format will be decided in consultation with your major professor, but

    generally it may include:

    I. Introduction (typically 3-5 pages) A. Provide background information and a rationale for your project. B. Why is your project important and needed? What are your goals for the

    project? II. Review of Literature (typically 10-15 pages)

    A. Provide a brief overview of the literature. It should be expanded upon in the actual project document, however. The purpose for this is to make sure your project is based upon sound evidence and informed by past work.

    B. What has already been done in this area directly related to your project in music education? What germane non-education literature is there (e.g., in ethnomusicology)?

  • 14

    III. Scope of Project (typically 2-3 pages) A. Give the nuts and bolts of the project. What do you plan to do? B. Also give a brief overview of who might be involved, where it might take

    place, and how long or when will it take place.

    Project Document The project document will vary depending upon the type of project you complete and

    will be decided upon in consultation with your major professor. For example, someone

    creating a series of instructional DVDs would likely have a shorter document than

    someone writing a curriculum unit. Further, someone creating a project in an area in

    which there is good foundational work done already will have more resources to pull

    from than someone selecting a somewhat less studied topic. As difficult as it might be,

    try not to focus on the length of the document. The specific document format will be

    decided in consultation with your major professor, but generally it will include:

    I. Introduction (typically 5-10 pages) A. This section is simply a developed, revised version of the introduction of

    the proposal. II. Review of Literature (typically 15-20 pages)

    A. Again, this section is like the literature review in the proposal, but a more developed and revised version. See: http://www.library.arizona.edu/help/tutorials/litreviews/whatis.html .

    III. Body of Document (varies considerably) A. The body of the document depends upon what you are creating. It might

    be a curriculum map, unit of study/set of lessons, or accompanying descriptions or assessments to a DVD. Expectations for this section will depend upon the project.

    IV. References & Appendices A. The last sections of the document will be a standard reference list and any

    needed appendix for items, such as tables, graphs, pictures, etc.

    Graduate Writing Support

    Most documents in your courses will use the most recent version (currently the 6th ed.)

    of the American Psychological Association's manual for writing and publishing

    (http://www.apastyle.org/). You should consider purchasing your own copy, if you are

  • 15

    able. A very good free APA resource online is Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL):

    https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ .

    UA also offers several resources for writing and editing assistance. The Writing Skills

    Improvement Program offers a Graduate Writing Institute during the summer

    regarding scholarly and professional writing (http://wsip.arizona.edu/graduate-writing-

    institute). The Writing Center also offers a great deal of services, including editing

    support and English writing assistance (http://thinktank.arizona.edu/writing-center).

    Other UA writing resources include the:

    • UA Writing Skills Improvement Program (https://wsip.arizona.edu/),

    • UA Library's "Improve Your Research Skills" page

    (http://new.library.arizona.edu/research/tutorials), and

    • UA Library's "Write & Cite" page (http://new.library.arizona.edu/research/write-

    cite).

    Graduate Teaching Assistants

    Enrollment in a graduate music education degree program is intended to provide more

    in-depth understanding of content and teaching environments or to function as

    preparation for a career at the collegiate level. While the coursework is a substantial part

    of this preparation, many prospective employers also want to see collegiate teaching

    experience from applicants. The opportunities afforded by the Graduate Teaching

    Assistantship will work towards this end. However, you are encouraged to approach

    music education faculty who are teaching courses similar to those in which you desire to

    teach regarding serving as a Teaching Assistant for that course. Doing so will allow you

    to work more closely with faculty, give you experience and insight into design of specific

  • 16

    courses, and allow faculty to better support you when the time comes to write

    recommendation letters since they will have had many opportunities to watch you teach.
