Abstract
Patricia Shehan Campbell work revolves around her created Listening Models to teach World Music to students of all ages utilizing a culturally accurate method. As a result, from her research, this study asks do Campbell’s Listening Models help students retain cultural and musical information on a music culture, specifically the Eastern Shoshone. Although example lessons exist in Campbell’s works as well as the Smithsonian Folkways website, research on the effectiveness is lacking. In order to test the effectiveness, this study offers a set of lessons based on the Eastern Shoshone for fourth and fifth grade students and tracks their learning through a pretest and posttest, individual student interviews, and whole class observations. Data from the pretest and posttest show students demonstrated a higher understanding after being taught the lessons. The results show that Campbell’s Listening Models are an effective tool music educators can employ to teach a more culturally responsible lesson.
