Denne artikkelen presenterer resultater fra en spørreundersøkelse om grunnskolelæreres kompetanse i musikk og deres valg av undervisningsinnhold i musikkfaget i grunnskolen. Dermed bidrar undersøkelsen til å beskrive hva lærere i musikk kan og hva de vektlegger i sin undervisning, og slik også sammenhengen mellom kompetanse og valg av undervisningsinnhold. Utvalget er 135 lærere som underviser musikk på tredje, sjette og niende trinn i fem kommuner på Østlandet. Datamaterialet analyseres gjennom deskriptiv statistikk og variansanalyser (ANOVA). Resultatene viser at de fleste lærere i musikk er allmennlærere med lite formell kompetanse i musikk fra høyere utdanning. Lærere på lave trinn har vesentlig mindre formell kompetanse enn lærere på høyere trinn, og de deltar også i mindre grad i uformell musikalsk læring gjennom musikkpraksis utenfor skolen. Det er også forskjeller i valg av undervisningsinnhold, og disse forskjellene kan ikke forklares av læreplanens beskrivelse av de ulike trinnene alene. Det ser ut til å være klare sammenhenger mellom hva lærere kan og hva de velger å vektlegge i sin undervisning. Likevel er studiens kanskje viktigste bidrag at den antyder at forskjeller i læreres musikkundervisningspraksis påvirkes av flere forhold, og kompetanse (formell og uformell), læreplanforståelse, profesjonell identitet og kjønn ser ut til å være sentrale faktorer.  Nøkkelord: musikk, lærere, kompetanse, undervisningsinnhold, kjønnAbstractThis article presents results from a survey investigating the competence of music teachers in Norwegian primary and lower secondary schools, and their choice of educational content in music lessons. Thus, the survey presents a description of what teachers know, and what they emphasize in their music teaching, and the correspondence between these factors. The sample comprises 135 teachers teaching music in grades three, six and nine in five municipalities. Data is analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results suggest that most teachers are generalist teachers with sparse musical training from higher education – teachers in lower grades less than teachers in higher grades. The lower grade teachers participate as well to a lesser degree in informal music practices outside school. There are several differences between grade three, six and nine teachers’ choice of educational content, and these differences cannot be explained by curricular differences alone. There seems instead to be systematic correspondence between teachers’ competence and educational content. The results suggest, however, that the differences regarding educational content are affected by an intricate interplay between several factors, including competence, curricular issues, professional identity and gender.Keywords: music, teachers, competence, educational content, gender

Wang Guowei, a famous scholar and thinker in our country, thinks that “aesthetic education harmonizes people's feelings in the process of emotional music education, so as to achieve the perfect domain”, “aesthetic education is also emotional education”. Therefore, in the process of music education, emotional education plays an important role in middle school music teaching, and it is also the highest and most beautiful realm in the process of music education in music teaching. Music teachers should be good at using appropriate teaching methods and means. In the process of music education, they should lead students into the emotional world, knock on their hearts with the beauty of music, and touch their heartstrings. Only when students' hearts are close to music in the process of music education, can they truly experience the charm of music and realize the true meaning of music in the process of music education. Only in this way can music classes be effectively implemented The purpose of classroom emotion teaching.

The purpose of this study was to determine if 1-week technology workshops can be an effective means for the professional development of music teachers in using technology for instruction. The results indicate that three indicators of effectiveness—teacher knowledge, teacher comfort, and frequency of teacher use—can he significantly improved in these settings. Participants ( N = 63) were music teachers enrolled in summer music technology workshops. At the beginning of the workshops, participants completed a questionnaire designed to provide demographic information and assess their knowledge of music technology, degree of comfort with music technology, and the frequency with which they used music technology in their teaching. Following an intensive weeklong workshop dealing with strategies for teaching music to K—12 students using music technology, participants completed a second questionnaire that was parallel to the first. Participants completed another similar questionnaire 9 to 10 months after the workshop. Significant differences were found between the pre-and. postworkshop questionnaires, between the preworkshop and follow-up questionnaires, and, between the postworkshop and follow-up questionnaires in all three areas. There was also a moderate correlation ( r = .43, p = .00) between participants' frequency of technological use and the degree to which they reported their access to technological resources.

Research regarding music teaching in primary school reveals generalist teachers’ and student teachers’ low musical abilities and low confidence in teaching Music, and even more, in including creative activities in music teaching. This article reports on a study which sought to create a fruitful and supportive environment that would allow 64 primary school student teachers participating in a sound stories’ project, to unearth their creative skills and abilities, through active participation and direct experimentation with sound and music. The study focused on the exploration of the formation of student teachers’ beliefs regarding the concept of musical creativity, as well as possible educational implications stemming from the processes, experiences and emotions student teachers went through during the project.

The impact of teacher dispositions on the professional development of preservice music teachers (PMTs) has been substantiated. This chapter describes an approach to dispositional development within the structure of an introduction to music education course. A teacher concerns model is used to organize this systematic approach through three developmental stages that include self-concerns, teaching task concerns, and student learning concerns. A series of 11 critical questions are presented for use in guiding PMTs’ dispositional development through these developmental stages. Activities to engage PMTs in the exploration of each of these questions are detailed for use by music teacher educators desiring to engage PMTs in dispositional development.

This multiple-case-studies research explored a multimodal approach to teaching music to pupils (from 4 to 18 years old) with severe or multiple disabilities. By combining music with, for example, tactile stimulation, movement, or visuals, meaning-making processes in music of these pupils was stimulated, helping them to understand the internal structures and expressive qualities of music. Three music teachers and a social worker participated in this study. Individual and collective video reflections and microanalysis were applied to gather data about their multimodal teaching practice. The data were analyzed through Schmid’s framework (2015) of “multimodal dimensions of children’s music experiences,” developed for general music education. This framework consists of four dimensions: narrativity, sociality, materiality, and embodiment. Based on the findings, Schmid’s framework could be revised for special education, thus providing music teachers with a tool for designing multimodal music lessons for pupils with severe or multiple disabilities.

The article explores the task of making higher education more profession-oriented. In this context, we consider the technology of structuring and matching professional activities and content of professional education curricula with the help of ontology. This technology employs intelligent analysis of labor market and educational content matching with the aim to organize educational programs and verify professional competences based on their ontological properties. The article also considers development of a professional training cognitive map that can help design the student’s personalized educational trajectory factoring in the given parameters.

As schools reopen and students return back to the classrooms, music teachers are faced with the challenge of how and what we could do (and continue to do) to support the well-being and music learning of our students in crises. I suggest that teachers take into consideration the various elements involved in creating engaging learning experiences. Recognize the changing classroom climate and student-teacher/student-peer relationships in the virtual classroom, it is necessary that we consider how to spark students’ motivation and generate meaningful dialogue, what strategies we apply to help our students develop critical thinking skills; how we connect with our students and address their emotional well-being while being physically separated from each other. As trivial as these ideas may appear on the surface, I believe that only when we truly listen and attend to the needs of our students will we provide the space for our students to flourish.

At any level of musical education, it is very important to improve one’s musicianship skills, which can only be achieved through consistent training and playing their musical instrument. Physical training is a very important part of the learning process; however, its combination with mental practice has been proved to be much more effective. Although such an approach is important at all levels of musical education, the paper addresses it in the context of higher education. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the pedagogical potential of mental practice in the process of teaching music in higher education. The research was implemented in two stages. First, a survey was conducted to gather information about the respondents’ habits when learning musical pieces. At this stage, the study involved 68 brass students from different universities around the world between the ages of 19 and 25. The second stage of the research comprised the development of the program of mental practice (PMP) with structured observation as a method and 7 participants from Latvian and Norwegian higher music education institutions. The obtained results allow to conclude that the inclusion of mental practice in the practicing routine significantly improves the overall level of concentration and stability both in the process of training and during performances. Mental practice also provides an opportunity to increase the duration of training as well as enhances the overall effectiveness of practicing and concentration during performances.
