Opis

This work examines the repertoire, authenticity and instruction of American Indian music in elementary school music programmes. It includes an analysis of the music in selected music series and supplemental resources. The analysis calls into question the authenticity of American Indian music presented in the textbook series, in which stereotypes and pseudo-Indian songs continue to appear. The study provides new information regarding the instruction of American Indian music in Oklahoma and shows the affect of demographic variables of teachers and students on pedagogical content and practice.
