Transcript: What musical and pedagogical factors determine the selection and organization of repertoire for the college-level piano recital? What are some factors that determine the “effectiveness” of a college-level piano recital program? What are respective roles that teachers and students play in recital repertoire selection? What works and/or composers constitute "standard repertoire” among undergraduate pianists? Why? Dissertation Defense Presentation Leonidas F. Lagrimas May 13, 2016 Suggestions for Further Research Narrative based; Crafted according to same framework that guided interview Individual themes summarized (based off Holistic coding and subcoding) Research design acknowledges validity of individual perspective Introduction Interviews transcribed manually, then analyzed in a three-part coding process (Saldana, 2016) Holistic coding Subcoding Pattern coding Code: Researcher-generated construct that symbolizes or "translates" verbal data and summarizes main ideas. These labels can be a single word, phrase, or direct quote (Saldana, 2016) Data reporting Individual Case Study Profiles Cross Case Analysis Constructivist paradigm (Ontological/Epistemological lens) Case study examines the particularity and complexity of a single case, coming to understand its activity within important circumstances (Stake, 1995). Collective case study expands to include multiple cases within one analytic lens. Analysis occurs within each case but also across cases (Baxter & Jack, 2008). Conclusion Implications for (all) Music Teachers Suggestions for Further Research Case 1: Anthony Research Question 3: What are respective roles that teachers and students play in repertoire selection? Theme 1: Collaborative Learning Model; Choice within Set Conditions Theme 2: Freshman Year: The Vital Foundation Document review and frequency analysis of past piano recital programs Listening analysis of each case study participant’s recital (clarification/timing purposes) Semi-structured interview with case study participants (preset questions according to "Three Rs" framework) Constructivist Paradigm (Baxter & Jack, 2008): Ontological Approach (nature of being): Truth is relative, dependent on perspective, ultimately subjective Epistemological Approach (nature of constructing knowledge): Knowledge is not inherent, but constructed by researcher and participants; Multiple interpretations of data are possible Qualitative Research Design: Collective Case Study Theoretical Framework The repertoire selection process: Complex, idiosyncratic Challenge, rethink the "standard canon" Who is your audience? What will you play for them? The power of the one-on-one relationship Review of Literature and Rationale for Study Statement of the Problem Results: Cross-Case Analysis "The Three Rs:" Placing the Recital, Repertoire, and Relationship in Context Current research on piano recital repertoire is limited and lacking necessary scope Failure to address pedagogical component of repertoire selection; uniqueness of each relationship Lack of research synthesizing "The Three Rs" into a single study PROGRAM Duetto No. 3 G Major, BWV 804 J.S. Bach (1685-1780) Rain Tree Sketch II Toru Takemitsu (1930-1999) Brief Pause Piano Sonata No. 15 in F Major, K. 533/494 W.A. Mozart (1756-1791) I. Allegro II. Andante III. Allegretto Brief Pause Notturno in G-flat Major Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) I Got Rhythm George Gershwin (1898-1937) arr. Gershwin Implications for (all) Music Teaching Research Questions Limited as follows: Recitals between 2012 and 2015 Recitals were full-length solo recitals given by undergraduate piano majors. Recitals featured at least two different composers on their programs. Recitals featured at least one composer considered as a “standard repertoire” composer Case study participants: 5 piano majors, 2 piano faculty members Purpose of the Study The Piano Recital: Standard curricular requirement (NASM, 2016) "Rite of passage" Large solo repertoire: beneficial and problematic How do performers select their pieces? How do teachers assign pieces to students? Piano recital programs from 2005-2015 analyzed for frequency of composer appearances Standard Repertoire Composers: Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, Liszt, Mozart, Debussy, Haydn, Schubert, Rachmaninov, Schumann, Ravel Results aided in case study participant selection and interview process Research Question 1: What musical and pedagogical factors determine the selection and organization of repertoire for the college-level piano recital? Theme 1: Making Connections within the Repertoire Theme 2: The Influence of the University Curriculum Graduate School auditions Competitions Piano Literature Survey Course Double Majors/Double Principals Data Collection/Procedure *results are NOT conclusive, as reflected in philosophical approach and research design Purposive Sampling: Selection Process Little formal research on recital repertoire selection processes, especially at collegiate level Job market/career options

Framed through the themes or patterns related to teacher orientations in social studies (individual characteristics, contextual factors, change over time, and meaningful experiences) that emerge in the narratives (individually and collectively) shared by social studies teachers, how do teachers define and describe their teaching orientation through their lived experience narrative, and how do those definitions and descriptions compare to the Evans model (additions or omissions)? 2. What are the implications of these findings for the design of learning environments to promote and support social studies instruction; including technology usage and integration? Thank you!

Transcript: A Qualitative Study Exploring how Art-based Supervision can Assist New Art Therapy Field Practioners in Trusting Their Intuitive Process When Working with Clients Dissertation Defense Elizabeth June Markman Presented to: ​ Dr. Elizabeth Fotopoulos Dr. Katy Barrington Dr. Sandra Kakacek July 19, 2022 “At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.” -Alan Alda “Intuition is the discriminate faculty that enables you to decide which of two lines of reasoning is right. Perfect intuition makes you master of all.” Paramahansa Yogananda “A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.” Marilyn Monroe “Intuition does not come to an unprepared mind.” Albert Einstein “Think for yourself. Trust your own intuition. Another’s mind isn’t walking your journey, you are.” Scottie Waves STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Statement of Problem "Clinification" of Art Therapy & Trusting the Intuitive Process Clinification Syndrome Allen, Pat B. (1992) Artist-in-Residence: An Alternative to “Clinification” for Art Therapists, Journal of American Art Therapy Association, 9, 1, DOI: 10.1080/07421656.1992.10758933 "A process where art therapists gradually cease making art as clinical skills become the primary career focus. Priorities of training programs and the policies of the American Art Therapy Association contribute to this trend. Lack of research and theory development in art therapy are seen as major ramifications of the clinification syndrome." The over-emphasis on utilizing clinical skills in a therapeutic setting Defining Intuition Defining Intuition the idea that individuals can make successful decisions without deliberate analytical thought generally refers to a brain process that gives people the ability to make decisions without the use of analytical reasoning the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning Gaps in the Research Gaps in the Research • There were no prior studies connecting art-based supervision to the intuitive process • There is minimal research and writing on art-based supervision as it applies to new art therapy clinicians • There is minimal research on the phenomenon of intuition and creativity outside of an art or art education context • Most research on intuition and counseling has been conducted with counselors, not art therapists, or within the context of providing art-based supervision. LITERATURE REVIEW Literature Review Art Therapy & Intuition Art Therapy & Intuition The imaginal realm is of high importance in the field of art therapy. The imaginal realm is a state of introspection that gives an individual the ability to see reality with new possibilities that had not previously been realized (Linton, 2015). This process relies on knowledge that comes from within and goes beyond the typical sensory ability, such as intuition. Accessing the imaginal realm becomes easier when there is a better understanding of what it is and what can lead to this state of mind. Art therapy also relies on The Creative Connection. This process, conceptualized and described by Natalie Rogers (1993), helps with the immersion into the artistic aspect of an individual by reaching into the body, mind, emotions, and spirit as they create various forms of art that influence each other. Intuition, which refers to knowing without the same rational thought processes as are typically used in the decision-making process, is considered a highly effective and efficient process of thinking that creates an environment conducive to forming a relationship that consists of trust and confidentiality (Faiver et al., 2000; Jeffrey, 2012) Intuition can also be used to help art therapists evaluate their clients more effectively. Intuitive therapists will be more in tune with their client's feelings, ideas, and desires using symbolism (Jeffrey, 2012). This will help improve communication and interactions in the therapeutic setting. Art Therapists Attuning to Their Artist Self Art Therapists Attuning to Their Artist Self New art therapists can develop the skills necessary for successfully using art to encourage and support the healing process. Art therapist must be able to attune themselves to their artistic side before they are truly able to harness their intuitive ability for the sake of therapy In addition to preparing the art therapist for providing psychological healing, creativity serves to satisfy the needs of humans in several ways. Cultivating creativity is a healthy practice that can appease humans through autonomy, play, and spiritual harmony. Creativity has also been shown to have a personal healing effect, providing an individual with the ability to grow and develop empathy (Barsaleau, 2012). Developmet of New Art Therapists Developmet of New Art Therapists Openness, flexibility, and intuitiveness when attending to the individuality and differences in

Immigration patterns New languages New cultures New needs Cultural diversity has transformed planning processes Mandatory participation The Title VI federal requirement prohibits government and non-profit agencies recipients of federal funds to exclude the public from the decision-making process (Brody et al., 2003). ​ Federal mandates require participation Planners Planner's ability to communicate with people from other cultures can improve the planning outcomes (Umemoto, 2001). Cultural cues and nuances of language Consideration and integration of cultural minorities input Reduce frustration Planner's attitudes influence participation outcomes (Burby 2003;Carp, 2004) Why DFW? Six fastest growing large city in the United States (US Census Bureau, 2018) Increasing immigration rates (Texas demographic center, 2017) Growing urban poverty (Dallas news, 2016) Limited transportation options DFW shares common characteristics of other metropolitan regions in the nation Problem Statement Problem Statement Communication challenges Planners and and citizens may speak different languages (Umemoto, 2001) Misinterpretation of communication cues gives rise to inequalities in planning process Intimidates citizens Forfeit bona fide participation efforts Planners may not be skilled at communication across cultures Multicultural planning Sensitivity of planning process to cultural diversity (Qadeer, 2009) Makes reasonable accommodations for cultural needs of ethno-racial minorities (Qadeer, 2009) Recognizes and integrates the contribution of socio-cultural differences; empowers minorities (Sandercock, 1998) Multicultural planning is the basis for cultural competence (Burayidi, 2003, Forester, 1999 2000;Sandercock, 1998, 2003) Multicultural Planning Intercultural sensitivity Affective dimension of intercultural communication in cultural competence interest in other cultures and willingness to modify one's behavior Planners must be intercultural sensitive to incorporate input of socio-cultural groups in plans and policies Intercultural sensitivity GAP Solution and engagement discussed and proposed Planners depicted as insensitive to cultural differences in practice Planners obstruct participation? The field of evaluation lags behind Improving multicultural planning starts with understanding current state of participation Point of reference to compare results across individuals, groups, overtime Determine influential factors and make recommendations The missing link Contribution Use Chen and Starosta's Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) empirical tool and benchmark to assess intercultural sensitivity over time and across agencies Chen and Startosta's Intercultural sensitivity model (2000) Literature Review Literature Review Benefits Allows public officials to gather information about the public’s preferences (Adams, 2004; Burby, 2003; Ryding & Pennington, 2000;Van Herzele, 2004).​ Increases the legitimacy of decisions and guaranties stakeholders’ support (Meier, 2000; Barnes, Newman and Sullivan, 2004).​ Embodies a democratic ethic and empowerment ideal (Barnes, Newman and Sullivan, 2004).​ Improves the well-being of society (Putnam, 2000; Innes, 1996; Potapchuck & Croker, 1999).​ Abides by rules of inclusion per federal mandates​ (Brody et al., 2003). Benefits Problems with current practice Not clearly defined or conceptualized (Rowe & Frewer, 2005)​ Institutionalization of participation (Innes & Booher, 2004; Evans-Cowley & Hollander, 2010)​ Lack of trust between citizens and officials ​(King et al., 1998) Lack of representation ( King et al., 1998)​ Cost of public participation ​ Planning process and activities are too formal (Hou and Kinoshita, 2008) Problems Proposed solutions Increase access to public meetings​ Use informal means of communication to engage citizens ​ Educate planners on public participation ​ Use collaborative approaches ( citizens juries, focus groups, visualization web and computer based approaches)​ Solutions Collaborative approaches Citizen Juries ​ Facilitated discussions ​ Focus groups ​ Visualization techniques ​ Collaboration and consensus building ​ Web based approaches ​ Collaborative approaches ICC is the nexus between planning, participation and multiculturalism Theoretical Framework Theoretical Framework Participatory planning Planning model rooted in the theory of Communication Action​ Employs non-traditional techniques that rely on professional and local knowledge ​ Encourages an open dialogue to solve conflicts​ Build consensus and improve public participation ​ ICC
