Knapp, Angela. "Music and the literacy hour at Key Stage 2: an investigation into curricular pressure." British Journal of Music Education, Volume 17, issue 3 (November 2000), p. 265-276. OhioLINK. Web. 20 November 2010. Primary school teachers have had to endure a great many changes in the profession over the last decade. Since the advent of the National Curriculum - the most significant change of all - there have been further alterations to the teaching programme. The first was a revision of the National Curriculum itself, followed by the election of a new Government, which rapidly introduced another major change: the prescriptive teaching of literacy and numeracy. To accommodate this, primary schools have had to juggle to maintain a broad and balanced curriculum of foundation subjects.

Waller, David. "Literacy and Music Literacy: Language A Pedagogical Asymmetry." OhioLINK. Web. 19 November 2010 Music education discourse is marked by frequent comparisons of music to language, and of music notation to written language. However, the role played by writing, as opposed to reading, is often overlooked in that discourse, as well as in classroom practices and workbooks. Consequently, far too many students can read music notation but not write it. Failing to achieve full literacy in their field, they develop a habit of deference toward printed music. Plato argues in the Phaedrus that we should not take that which is written too seriously. Letting students write music will help them to achieve the perspective of Plato-himself a writer.

Piro, Joseph M. "The effect of piano lessons on the vocabulary and verbal sequencing skills of primary grade students." Psychology of Music, Volume 37, issue 3 (July 2009), p. 325-347. OhioLINK. Web. 20 November 2010. A number of studies have reported positive associations between music experience and increased abilities in non-musical (e.g., linguistic, mathematical, and spatial) domains in children. These transfer effects continue to be probed using a variety of experimental designs. The major aim of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of a scaffolded music instruction program on the vocabulary and verbal sequencing skills of two cohorts of second-grade students. One group (n = 46) studied piano formally for a period of three consecutive years as part of a comprehensive instructional intervention program.

Walsh, Maureen. "Worlds have collided and modes have merged: classroom evidence of changed literacy practices." Literacy, Volume 42, issue 2 (July 2008), p. 101-108. OhioLINK. Web. 20 November 2010 Debates continue in public and in educational policy forums about the 'basics' of literacy while many have not recognised that these basics may never be the same again. Rapid changes in digital communication provide facilities for reading and writing to be combined with various and often quite complex aspects of music, photography and film. At the same time, educational policy and national testing requirements are still principally focused on the reading and writing of print-based texts. This paper examines evidence from classroom research to analyse the nature of multimodal literacy, the literacy that is needed in contemporary times for reading, viewing, responding to and producing multimodal and digital texts. Examples of students' engagement in multimodal literacy are presented to demonstrate how classroom literacy practices can incorporate the practices of talking, listening, reading and writing together with processing the modes of written text, image, sound and movement in print and digital texts.

Gould, Elizabeth. "Music Education Desire(ing): Language, Literacy, and Lieder." Philosophy of Music Education Review, Volume 17, issue 1 (June 04, 2009), p. 41-55. OhioLINK. Web. 20 November 2010. Issues of desire in music education are integral and anathema to the profession. Constituted of and by desire, we bodily engage music emotionally and cognitively; yet references to the body are limited to how it may be better managed in order to produce more satisfactory (desired) sounds, thus disciplining desire as we focus on the content of teaching (music) to the virtual exclusion of its subjects (students)-and our selves.
