Abstract

This study explores studio music teachers’ motivations for engaging in community music and how these experiences can enhance their teaching approaches. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with studio music teachers in Australia. A qualitative approach using thematic analysis was used to gain insights into their perspectives on community music involvement. Findings identified that being engaged with community music influenced the teaching approaches of studio music teachers in four ways: through student engagement, community engagement skills, managing practical challenges, and career development skills. A conceptual framework of Participatory Music-Making Teaching Methods was developed from the integration of these themes. The framework provides studio music teachers with guidelines towards enhancing their private studio practice to create more holistic, engaging, and effective learning environments for their students. Through this exploration, this study seeks to encourage more music educators to view community music engagements as professionally rewarding opportunities.

工作室音乐教师对社区音乐参与的认知及其对教学方法的影响

本研究探讨工作室音乐教师参与社区音乐的动机，以及这些经验如何能改善他们的教学方法。对澳大利亚的音乐工作室教师进行了半结构化访谈。使用主题分析的定性方法来深入了解他们对社区音乐参与的看法。研究发现，参与社区音乐对工作室音乐教师的教学方法有四种影响：通过学生参与、社区参与技能、管理实际挑战和职业发展技能。通过对这些主题的整合，形成了参与式音乐教学方法的概念框架。该框架为工作室音乐教师提供了指导方针，以加强他们的私人工作室实践，为学生创造更全面、更有吸引力和更有效的学习环境。通过这一探索，本研究旨在鼓励更多的音乐教育者将社区音乐参与视为专业回报的机会。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Music Education (IJME) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Society for Music Education (ISME) four times a year. Manuscripts published are scholarly works, representing empirical research in a variety of modalities. They enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music with a special interest toward an international constituency. Manuscripts report results of quantitative or qualitative research studies, summarize bodies or research, present theories, models, or philosophical positions, etc. Papers show relevance to advancing the practice of music teaching and learning at all age levels with issues of direct concern to the classroom or studio, in school and out, private and group instruction. All manuscripts should contain evidence of a scholarly approach and be situated within the current literature. Implications for learning and teaching of music should be clearly stated, relevant, contemporary, and of interest to an international readership.
