Synopsis

This study examined perceptions of effective urban elementary general music teachers concerning effective teaching and pre-service preparation for urban elementary general music classrooms. It was conducted in two phases: survey and interview. Survey phase participants were experienced urban elementary general music teachers from different geographical areas of the United States, who had been identified as effective teachers by music teacher educators or music supervisors. Interview phase participants comprised a subset of survey participants who achieved high levels of potential cross-cultural adaptability on the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (Kelley & Meyers, 1995). A comprehensive interview instrument was administered in a collective case study research design. From the coded data passages, 162 themes emerged, with 100 themes comprising commonalities among the interview participants. Additionally, four meta-themes emerged from an examination of commonalities: flexibility, cultural knowledge and skills, caring and responsive attitude, and musical knowledge and music teaching skills. From these, a model of effective urban elementary general music teaching was generated.
