Johnson, Christopher M.; Wheeler, Beth; Hernandez-Ruiz, Eugenia
The purpose of this study was to update previous work, determine changes in publication patterns, identify music scholars of research productivity (as determined by publication rate), and identify the most productive institutions by examining the most recent 21 years of first-tier research publications in music education and music therapy. Results indicated that many researchers listed for their work ending in 1992 do not appear in the 1993-2013 period, though there were five notable exceptions. The main reason behind this change in productivity might be the passage of time (e.g. retirements, changes in position or administrative responsibilities). Patterns were noted in the most active / highest ranked institutions. Twelve institutions were on the lists in 1992 and in the current list. The ranking of the top three remained exactly the same, while the positioning of the other nine seemed to represent more fluidity of publication rate. All institutional data varied with their parallel changes in individual faculty.

From 1990 to 1999 MTV promoted a series of 288 music videos called “Buzz Clips”, designed to highlight emerging artists and genres. Such promotion had a measurable impact on an artists’ earnings and record sales. To date, the kinds of musical and visual practices MTV promoted have not been quantitatively analyzed. Just what made some videos Buzzworthy, and others not? We applied two phases of content analysis to this corpus to determine the most common sonic and visual signifiers in Buzz Clips, then processed the results of that content analysis using polychoric correlations. Our findings show high degrees of shared variance between certain pairs of musical and visual elements observed in the sample music videos. We interpret a number of these relationships in terms of their relevance to a performer’s perceived ethnicity and gender, showing how certain audiovisual features regularly accompany white men (e.g., electric guitar) while others regularly accompany women and performers of color (e.g. drum machines).

Background: Exposure to the voice and language during the critical period of auditory development associated with the third trimester is thought to be an essential building block for language. Differences in the auditory experience associated with early life in the NICU may increase the risk of language delays for premature infants. NICU nurses are fundamental in the care of premature infants; how they use their voices may be important in understanding auditory experiences in the NICU. This study examined voice use behaviors of NICU nurses in the United States and their current knowledge of early auditory development. Method: An opt-in, online questionnaire. Results: Nurses reported using their voice more as the age of infants approached term gestation and speaking to infants was the most common type of voice use. Both infant and nurse factors influenced reported voice use decisions in the NICU. Nurses did not believe the NICU auditory environment to be sufficient to meet early auditory needs of premature infants but did believe that premature infants are exposed to adequate voice sounds. Conclusions: A gap in knowledge regarding the importance of early exposure to voice sounds may be a barrier to nurses using their voices to support early auditory development.
