Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Florida, 2003.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which American children's folk songs were taught by general music teachers throughout the United States at the beginning of the 21<super>st</super> century. The research design included three phases. The first phase involved the creation of a song list which represented the American heritage. Music textbooks and songbooks from the 1700's to 1950 were used to create an initial list of over 500 songs. Then a study of 223 people over age 62, representing 44 states, was conducted to add to/subtract from the initial list, creating a list of 250+ songs which were taught to children in America between 50 and 100 years ago. The second phase involved narrowing the list. Thirty top college and university elementary music specialists ranked each song according to its merits as representative of the American children's folk heritage. From that ranking, a list of 100 representative songs was created. The third phase involved a stratified, random sample of 4,000 general music teachers, 80 from every state in the nation. The teachers were asked the extent to which their students could sing each of the 100 songs by memory, based on their teaching of the song in question.Subjects--Topical Terms:

The teachers were asked the extent to which their students could sing each of the 100 songs by memory, based on their teaching of the song in question.
520 $a Results revealed that few American children's folk songs were being taught by general music teachers across the nation. Most students could not be expected to sing songs such as “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” “Old MacDonald Had A Farm,” “Bingo,” “Home On the Range,” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” from memory.
520 $a Simple linear regression discrepancy analysis revealed that the results of the study were reliable. A probabilistic model was used to account for random error, yielding results suited to inferential statements. Statistical significance was achieved at the <.0001 level. Specific demographic characteristics of the teachers—gender, age, whether he/she taught at a private/public school, music series textbook used, grade level taught, years in the profession, state, and whether he/she taught at a rural/urban/suburban school—were highly significant. Information from the 30 elementary music specialists and 233 people over 62 was combined to create a recommended song list.
