520 $a The purpose of this descriptive research study is to stimulate and solicit thought among current Dominican music educators with the intent to create a foundation for their professional growth and for the growth and enhancement of music education in the Dominican Republic. Three research questions were asked: (1) What are the current beliefs and practices of Dominican music educators? (2) What proportion of Dominican music educators have knowledge or experience with contemporary practices in music education? (3) What recommendations can Dominican music educators make to improve music education in the Dominican Republic?
520 $a Thirty-five volunteer Dominican music educators participated in a 120-hour comprehensive course in music education offered by the researcher. The content of the course was focused on contemporary American practices and philosophy of music education, curricular foundations of music education, measurement and evaluation of musical behaviors, and methodology and techniques for teaching music education in a variety of school settings.
520 $a Participants were asked to complete an initial questionnaire, a final questionnaire, and a final group project. The research questions were answered with data obtained from these sources. Data were first translated into English, then, summarized, and presented in tables and narrative form.
520 $a Results of research questions one and two illustrate that contemporary music education practice is not featured in music education curriculum throughout schools in the Dominican Republic. Music educators have scant knowledge or experience with such practice.
520 $a Dominican music educators' answers to research question three provided recommendations for the improvement of music education in the Dominican Republic. Recommendations include separation of music education from other arts; creation of more music education college programs; revision of the national curriculum and music guidelines; improvement of teaching resources and facilities; creation of a music education association; and provision of scholarship and exchange programs.
520 $a Music education in the Dominican Republic can and should be strengthened through teacher training in contemporary practices of music education. The role of music education within the national curriculum should be revised. A strong and longstanding commitment to improve music education is required from the government and the entire community, and support from the international community will be necessary as well.
