Thesis (D.M.A.)--University of Southern California, 2004.

Anecdotally, choral directors indicate that separating the genders leads to decreased behavior problems and increased learning. The purpose of this study was to gauge the observations, practices and attitudes of choral directors with regard to behavior and teaching techniques in single-gender and mixed voice ensembles.

520 $a Anecdotally, choral directors indicate that separating the genders leads to decreased behavior problems and increased learning. The purpose of this study was to gauge the observations, practices and attitudes of choral directors with regard to behavior and teaching techniques in single-gender and mixed voice ensembles.
520 $a A researcher-constructed questionnaire was sent to 2003--04 members of the Southern California Vocal Association (N = 101). Teachers supplied personal statistics and information about current choirs. Forced choice statements regarding observations of student behavior, ease in teaching vocal technique, perceptions of student enthusiasm towards joining single-gender choirs, difficulty in choosing appropriate literature and rehearsal procedures were included. In an open-ended forum teachers discussed the advantages and disadvantages of teaching single-gender choirs and mixed voice ensembles.
520 $a Quantitative and narrative responses reported that student behavior is decidedly more manageable in a single-gender environment in the choral classroom. Respondents overwhelmingly indicated that (a) students are visibly less focused when members of the opposite sex are present and (b) vocal technique methods can be tailored more effectively in single-gender groups. Some concerns and barriers to offering single-gender choirs was (a) the lack of enough boys, (b) lack of quality literature for SSA and TTB choirs, and (c) lack of administrative support.
520 $a Results also indicated that 100% of surveyed choral directors are mixed ensembles and 91% are teaching a women's group. Only 46% are directing some type of men's group. However, when asked to design the ideal curriculum for choral students, 100% of respondents listed a combination of men's, women's and mixed ensembles. The more traditional view of single-gender ensembles being used as the training ground for advanced mixed groups was consistent throughout the subjects as directors indicated that as students become older and more musically advanced, the disparity in disciplinary issues decreases.
520 $a Based upon these observations, a choral curriculum offering more single-gender choirs in secondary schools is suggested and the development of gender based teaching materials and choral literature developed.
