Using data collected through the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal study, we explore the early musical experiences of approximately 6,800 infants and toddlers. Data collected from the primary caregivers and their partners pre-birth, when the children were 9 months old, and 2 years old are used to explore five areas: parental singing; active musical play; music listening; involvement in music groups; and participation in wider cultural events. Musical engagement is analysed with respect to various child, parental and family characteristics, including parental education, socio-economic status, and parental knowledge of and appreciation for the arts. The results provide a holistic description of the musical environments of young children in Aotearoa New Zealand.","PeriodicalId":54192,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43553258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six years on, we reflect on the project and consider the significance and sustainability of what might have been achieved. We also probe whether there are further areas for development. We conclude that while there were many positive outcomes, we recognise the challenges of sustaining and nurturing the confidence of practitioners and the desirability of addressing the organisational aspects of the initiative to promote the embedding of practice. There is a real necessity for such projects, often involving radical challenges to previously held attitudes and practices, to be funded over longer periods of time. We also acknowledge the rich, untapped potential of using song to connect with families and carers.","PeriodicalId":54192,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47683646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a review of literature in music psychology and music education, we posit that negative emotions can engender a meaningful learning context. In this project conducted in an Australian university, we created a condition in which students were engaged in repeated listening to recordings of music from cultures different from their own, which they reported as sounding “unpleasant.” We then analysed how they overcame emotional responses through a listening exercise. The findings suggest that the students developed enhanced motivation and cognitive reflection by facing their own negative emotions through repeated listening.

Concurrently, a critical examination of training programmes has less often featured, with only limited discussion of digital approaches to classroom music-making constituting the focus of empirical research. Through a focused case study in one Australian university, 136 pre-service teachers participated in a face-to-face module of interactive music education which culminated in a peer-directed collaborative digital music-making project. Pre- and post-surveys were implemented with shifts in pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy measured according to Bandura’s self-efficacy scales. Legitimation Code Theory from the sociology of education then served as an overarching theoretical lens through which to appraise the findings. Despite an enduring self-concept as ‘non-musicians’, the results highlight positive shifts in self-efficacy through the utilisation of peer-directed digital music-making tasks, with implications for teacher training programmes more broadly situated.","PeriodicalId":54192,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42296473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, HESA data has key issues when examining HME courses: which courses are reported as ‘music’ courses to HESA; how do universities decide which courses are ‘music’ courses; how many different topics are contained within the umbrella of ‘music’ courses? To address questions of gender representation in HME, universities in the UK were approached with Freedom of Information Act requests for the gender demographics of student populations on “music-related” courses. Information was gained on 3456 courses populations between 2014 and 2020, which was categorised by the subject of study. Six core undergraduate topics were identified: generic music degrees (female bias), degrees combining music and technology (male bias), degrees combining music and business (no gender bias), degrees on popular music (male bias), degrees combining music and theatre (female bias) and major conservatoire courses (no gender bias). No area was accurately represented by HESA data, and gender representation varied significantly between areas. These findings have implications for discussions of gender representation in HME across the UK.","PeriodicalId":54192,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41913378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Instrumental Music Teacher: Autonomy, Identity and the Portfolio Career in Music by Kerry Boyle . International Society for Music Education (ISME) Global Perspectives in Music Education. Abingdon: Routledge, 2021","authors":"L. Shaw","doi":"10.1017/s0265051722000183","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/s0265051722000183","url":null,"abstract":"In a publication that explores the intriguing nature of conflicting professional identities in music, freelance singing teacher and choral director, Kerry Boyle, enables the voices of over 300 instrumental teachers working in a variety of educational contexts in the UK to come to the fore via a national survey and 18 case study interviews. In the book description, Boyle highlights ‘a lack of regulation and curriculum’ where ‘individuals can teach with no training or qualification’. This seemingly negative assertion is juxtaposed with the notion, expressed positively for the most part, that instrumental teachers enjoy ‘high levels of personal and professional autonomy’ (p. 1). The majority of participants in Boyle’s study identify as musicians as opposed to teachers, a phenomenon the author can relate to from an autoethnographic stance. Ambiguously, multiple-choice options vary across Survey questions 2: ‘Which of the following most accurately describes your main professional occupation?’ and 18: ‘Which of the following terms would you suggest is most appropriate in describing your professional identity?’ (see Appendix 1). Given the classroom-based practice associated with the word ‘teacher’, it is potentially problematic that it was not possible for participants to select ‘instrumental teacher’ in response to the latter question. This may have been intentional, however, to highlight the notion that instrumental teachers are ‘unable to claim the status of teacher attributed to professionals working as qualified classroom teachers’ (p. 92). Set against a wider research context where instrumental teaching is surprisingly perceived as ‘non-musical or non-creative activity’ (p. 102), participants’ teaching is evidently informed by a portfolio of broader musical activity. Despite this, much compartmentalised thinking is prevalent amongst participants, many of whom seem to view performing and teaching as separate entities involving the switching of roles. There is scope to tease out the interrelated and complementary nature of these activities a little more, especially in response to a conservatoire tutor’s suggestion that three years of performance training had been ‘wasted’ (p. 68) following their student’s decision to undertake a music-focused Postgraduate General Certificate in Education (PGCE) in lieu of a final year of specialist performance training. Indeed, Boyle suggests that ‘musician first then teacher’ models (p. 6, resonating with Huhtanen, 2008) emphasise hierarchical roles in music where musicians who choose to train as music educators are perceived as inferior to those who sustain a performance career alongside teaching. The striking statistic that over 50% of participants in this study had never received any ‘organised training or guidance’ (p. 20) before they began teaching suggests that they only had their own previous teacher(s)’methods as a foundation for their own practice. It is interesting therefore that participants perceived th","PeriodicalId":54192,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Music Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43783045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
