Creative Music-making in Secondary Schools: Changes from School-Music to Music in School
The presentation is based on a case study of teachers´ and pupils´ practices and understandings of the concept “creative music-making”. It was conducted in four Swedish secondary schools.
Empirical data from classrooms were collected by participant classroom observations, recordings of music-making activities and interviews with teachers and pupils Texts from the Swedish National Curriculum and textbooks and teaching aids provide material for the analysis of previous formations and changes of the concept.
The perspective of the study is inspired by the concepts of Michel Foucault and Jason Toynbee´s theory of the social authorship. The aim is to elucidate different constructions of the concept and their roles in forming music teaching and learning practices.
The presentation will focus on discursive conditions and their effects on teaching music with regard to changes in society where internationalised youth cultures, development of music technology and the globalisation of the media industry provide new role models and tools for aesthetic expression and creative music-making.
