Research in Music Education
This book is a reflection of our collective experiences in teaching research to both beginning and advanced graduate music education students. These experiences include introducing master-level students to basic concepts of research, developing skills of critical analysis in doctoral students, and guiding doctoral candidates in dissertation work. In all these situations it appears that the main problem in bringing research close to the minds of the students lies in their diverse views of what music education is.
Research Methodologies in Music Education
This volume provides an understanding of various research methodologies that have been used in music education projects. These methodologies include: historical research; quantitative research; narrative inquiry; action research; ethnography; case study; interpretative phenomenological analysis; arts-based methods; and mixed methods. Each of these research methodologies is detailed, before examples of music education projects that have used these methodologies are described. A separate chapter is devoted to each methodology, and each chapter has been written by a researcher with extensive experience and knowledge of the methodology in question. The book project is an initiative of the Austra...
The Power of Music
There is accruing evidence which indicates that actively making music can contribute to the enhancement of a range of non-musical skills and lead to other beneficial outcomes. Research continues to explore the circumstances under which these benefits may occur. A recent review of the evidence from neuroscience suggests that early engagement may be important (before the age of seven), the length of musical engagement and commitment to it, the type of training, and the instrument learned. The quality of teaching is also crucial as to whether any benefits are realised. When teaching is poor there may be no benefits and negative outcomes. The common characteristics of musical programmes which ar...
