Rationale

Overthelastfewdecades,therehasbeenatremendousgrowthinthefieldofpianopedagogy.Toinsureconsistencyinteachingqualityandoverallstandards,collegesanduniversitieshaveexpandedfromofferingasinglepedagogycoursetoasequenceofmultiplecourses,toofferinganemphasis,to,inmorerecentyears,offeringmajorsatvariousdegreelevels.

Sincethelate1970s,OaklandhasofferedaMasterofMusicinPianoPedagogy.Atthattime,thedepartmentchosetonotofferanundergraduatedegreeinpedagogybecauseofabeliefthatstudentsshouldstrengthentheirownperformingabilitiesduringtheirundergraduateyearsandthen,shouldtheydecidetobecomestudiopianoteachers,studypianopedagogyonthegraduatelevel.Thisisacommonbelief,sharedwithinmanymusicprogramsinthecountry.Infact,atthemoment,nouniversitiesinMichiganofferabachelor’sdegreeinpianopedagogy.

However,inreality,manypianoperformancemajorschoosenottopursuegraduateworkinperformanceand,instead,begintoteachwithouthavinghadproperguidanceorpedagogicaleducation.SomeundergraduatepianistsbegintoteachprivatelybeforeearningtheirB.M.degrees.OnereasonpianopedagogicalpracticehasbeenrelativelyinconsistentintheUnitedStatesisalackofeducationopportunitiesandfailuretorecognizethevalueofstudents’learningtoteachpianoearlierintheireducationalcareers.ByofferinganundergraduatepianopedagogyprogramatOakland,wecanprovidethislearningopportunitytostudentswhoknowbeforecomingtocollegethattheywanttochooseprivatepianoteachingasacareer.Ourultimategoalistoprovideaneducationalplatformtoenablestudentstobecomemoresuccessfulperformersandteachers.

PromotingtheMissionandGoalsoftheUniversity,Department,andProgram

TheproposedprogramsfitwellwithinOaklandUniversity’smissionto“engagestudentsindistinctiveeducationalexperiencesthatconnecttotheuniqueanddiverseopportunitieswithinourregionandbeyond.”Theproposedprogramsalsocontributetothedepartment’scapacityto“fosterstudentsuccess”byprovidingopportunitiesforstudentswhoseinterestsandgoalsthecurrentofferingsdonotfullymeet.Inessence,studentswhocompletetheprogramwillcontributetoOakland’scapacityto“servetheneedsandaspirationsofourcommunitiesandregion;”theproposedprogramswillprovidetheregionwithbettermusicinstruction,servingourcommunity’sfamiliesbetterthanwedonow.

Aspartofitsmission,theDepartmentofMusic,TheatreandDance“educatesartsprofessionals,”“providessupportforprofessionalartistsandartseducators,”and“providesleadershipinthearts.”InitsrolewithintheDepartment,theMusicProgramofferspre-professionalandprofessionaleducationandsupportforperformers,musicteachers,andstudioteachers.TheMusicProgramalsosponsorsandfostersmusicalengagementexperiencesforthecommunityandregion.

Theproposedprogramsfitsolidlywithinthemissionsoftheuniversity,department,andmusicprogram.

MEMORANDUM To: Jackie Wiggins, Ed.D., Chair, Department of Music, Theatre and Dance, Oakland

University From: Helen Levenson, Collection Development Librarian

Katie Greer, Librarian Liaison to Department of Music, Theatre and Dance Re: Library collection evaluation for proposed addition of a piano pedagogy major

within the Bachelor of Music degree Date: March 4, 2016 To conduct this Library collection evaluation for the proposed addition of a piano pedagogy major within the Bachelor of Music degree, we reviewed the draft program proposal in relation to the University Libraries’ current resources in music and music education. Since a Master of Music in Piano Pedagogy degree and piano pedagogy courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels have been offered by Oakland University for quite some time, and a Ph.D. in Music Education is also currently offered by the Music Department, the Libraries’ resources are already quite strong in this area. Overall, the Libraries’ current offerings are more than sufficient to address the teaching, research and learning needs of faculty and students for this proposed new undergraduate major. In order to compile this collection evaluation, we consulted Magazines for Libraries and the holdings of other university libraries which offer similar programs. The following is our assessment of the Libraries’ ability to support the proposed new major. Reference Sources and Periodical Indexes The University Libraries subscribe to the premier music reference resource, Oxford Music Online which includes Groves Music Online, The Oxford Companion to Music, and The Oxford Dictionary of Music. The Credo Reference collection offers The Harvard Dictionary of Music, Musical Terms, Symbols and Theory: An Illustrated Dictionary, The New Penguin Dictionary of Music, and other titles. The University Libraries also subscribe to numerous major periodical indexes that would support the proposed new major, many of which also provide full text access. These include the EBSCO indexes Music Index, Education Full Text, ERIC, and OmniFile Full Text Select. Additionally, the Libraries subscribe to the Gale indexes Academic OneFile and Expanded Academic ASAP, as well as the Education: SAGE Full Text database. A great majority of the journals which would support the proposed new major and to which the University Libraries subscribe (see Appendix A) are indexed in these resources. Music Instruction and Study Journals As mentioned above, see Appendix A for a sample list of journals that would support the proposed piano pedagogy major for the Bachelors in Music degree program. This list includes

UniversityLibraries

46

the core journal titles in this field that are recommended in Magazines in Libraries. A comparison to resources held by other universities that offer similar programs was conducted and it was found that the University Libraries have a very strong journal collection and hold the major scholarly journal titles in this field. The Libraries also subscribe to music journals peripheral to this new proposed major, such as Ethnomusicology, American Music, Black Music Research Journal, and Journal of the Society for American Music, among others. Monographs The University Libraries has a strong music monograph collection which has been regularly supported through the years through annual resource allocations to the Music Department. For the current fiscal year, the music department is currently allocated $4,500.00 for the purchase of resources. See Appendix B for the total number of print monographs held by the University Libraries in the Library of Congress Classification range of MT1-MT258 for Music Instruction & Study Including Keyboard Instruments as well as the number of print monographs added in this classification range since 2010. In addition to print monographs, the University Libraries own 30 Ebooks indexed under “Music Instruction & Study.” Included in this Ebook collection is Music Education for Changing Times: Guiding Visions for Practice, published by Springer in 2009, Narrative Soundings and Resonant Research: Lifework in Music Education, published by Springer in 2010, and The Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research in American Music Education, published by Oxford University Press in 2014. Searches of GOBI, the online book ordering service from the University Libraries’ primary book vendor demonstrate that there are about 80 books per year that are published in the relevant Library of Congress classification ranges that would support this proposed major. Many of these titles are considered “basic recommended” or “research recommended.” The average cost of these titles is $94.00 per book. We would recommend a purchase of a minimum of five new monographs per year to continue to support this proposed new undergraduate major. See the Monographs/Reference Books line in Appendix C for the costs needed to support these acquisitions. Support for Current Library Resources As noted throughout this collection evaluation, the University Libraries already provide access to a rich collection in music education and resources that are more than sufficient to support the teaching, research and learning needs of faculty and students for this proposed new undergraduate major. However, due to anticipated annual inflation cost increases for journals, reference resources, indexes, and databases, the Libraries cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain subscriptions even to our current resources. Therefore, we ask that the library be given $500.00 per year to assist us in funding these resources that are critical to the Bachelor of Music degree with a piano pedagogy major, as well as to the entire Music Department.
