a movement-based approach to instrumental music learning & teaching
This project is my postdoctoral research. Here I develop a [practice & research]-based pedagogical framework for the integration of creative movement in the instrumental music classroom
Keywords: musical creativity, bodily freedom, multimodal learning
Classroom Study 1
In this study I act as teacher-researcher, teaching movement & improvisation based ensemble lessons to beginner instrumentalists. Currently I teach in 2 schools, all children in the 5th and 6th grade.
Classroom Study 2
This study builds on Classroom study 1, but here I collaborate with different teachers. Currently, I'm working with violin teachers.
Delphi Study
In this study I use the Delphi technique to probe experts' beliefs and ideas about and attitude towards the body, and in particular, deliberate body movement in instrumental music teaching and learning.
