Abstract

Instrumental music teaching traditionally emphasizes the cognitive, motor, and motivational processes of score reproduction, often at the expense of creative musical activities, such as improvisation or composition. Since today’s international art school curricula prominently include creativity competencies, opportunities to integrate creativity in instrumental lessons must be explored. This study investigates instrument teachers’ conception of musical creativity: its scope, opportunities, and risks. About 273 teachers completed an online questionnaire on their use of creative class time, beliefs, and barriers to creative instrument teaching. Although the majority acknowledged the benefits of creative activities for score-playing, they invested little in improvisation and composition due to a lack of time and training in musical creativity. Teachers considered interpretation a valuable form of musical creativity, next to improvisation and composition, but questioned its feasibility in instrument lessons. Implications for instrument-teacher training are discussed.

乐器教师在音乐创作方面的实践、信念与障碍:探索诠释的创作过程

器乐教学传统上强调乐谱再现的认知、运动和动机过程，往往以牺牲即兴创作或作曲等创造性音乐活动为代价。由于当今国际艺术学校的课程突出地包括创造力能力，因此必须探索将创造力融入器乐课程的机会。本研究探讨乐器教师音乐创意的概念:范围、机会与风险。大约273名教师完成了一份关于他们使用创造性课堂时间、信念和创造性乐器教学障碍的在线问卷。尽管大多数人都承认创造性活动对乐谱的好处，但由于缺乏时间和音乐创造力方面的培训，他们在即兴创作和作曲方面的投入很少。老师们认为口译是一种有价值的音乐创作形式，仅次于即兴演奏和作曲，但质疑其在乐器课上的可行性。讨论了对仪器教师培训的影响。

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.
