A Research in a Low-Income Area

Public school principals who provide music in elementary programs are often confronted with budgetary costs and reduced funding for music education. There is a dearth of research regarding music as an essential element in early education in low-income rural areas. Thus, the purpose of the inquiry presented in this book was to explore and describe leadership practices of principals who, despite the final challenges, include and sustain music in the K-3 curriculum. The study was conducted in a small county southeast of the United States. The findings may encourage educational leaders to find ways to sustain music education from early childhood as an opportunity for enhanced education in the hopes of future citizens engaged with a more equitable society.

 Sustaining Music Education in K-3 Programs: A Research in a Low-Income Area by Dr. Ivone Fraiha Clark, PhD

“Of special and particular interest to school administrators, teachers, school board members, education advocates, parents, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in supporting music education as a part of elementary level school curriculums, "Sustaining Music Education in K-3 Programs: A Research in a Low-Income Rural Area" is a critically important addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library Music Education Curriculum collections and curriculum studies lists.” - The Education Shelf, Midwest Book Review

About the Author

Dr. Ivone Fraiha Clark, PhD is a musician and mother of three. She is a US citizen by marriage and Brazilian by birth. In Brazil, she worked for more than 30 years between the stage and teaching. To encourage excellence in music, she created choirs for corporate employees and religious and philosophical groups and promoted Choir Festivals that evolved into a national event. Dr. Clark was appointed to music teacher at Dom Bosco Catholic University, where she had several opportunities to take her students on musical tour throughout Europe and the United States and subsequently conducted them in a musical performance for Pope John Paul II during his visit to Brazil. Before leaving Brazil, as a lyric soprano, she recorded Canto da Saudade, an album of Brazilian classical music.

Living in the United States, Dr. Clark obtained a Ph.D. degree in Education while teaching music as an employee and volunteer. She has two published literary books: Solfejos em Versos e Luz (poems) and Memories from Childhood (tales). This third book is founded in her doctoral dissertation, Principals’ Leadership Practices for Sustaining Music in K-3 Education.

According to Dr. Clark, music education from early childhood gives wings to children's imagination, allowing their thoughts to fly creatively and critically throughout their lives.

Cute, funny, and purrfect
Format: Paperback
My daughter and I have been reading this book and have had lots of laughs. We love Gray's personality 😆 It's so fun that it's intertwined with the Unicorn and Sprinkles books we've caught all the hints and when things have happened in the other books. My daughter hopes there will be more books for this series!

Right level
Format: Kindle
Easy to read. Was the right balance of chapter book with minimal pictures that helped my 7 year old stay engaged without needing a picture on every page. My reader made connection of characters/events from other stories by same author. Review from 7 year old: "Liked that it was a cat with sunglasses."

Our favorite book!
Format: Hardcover
This book is so cute and fun to read. The pictures are great and there’s a great message. It’s one of the few books I don’t mind reading 1000x a day. Also bonus- my toddler runs around saying ‘well bless my bow wow!’ which is very very cute 😂
