This project started out as my MA thesis in Philosophy and is the basis of all my further work. Here I investigate why, how, and when musician experience their instrument as a part of themselves.
Keywords: ecological philosophy, activity theory, flow and presence

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
MY RESEARCH
My research domains are:
-
instrumental music teaching and learning
-
music educational technology
In particular, I investigate:
-
the role of the body in the instrumental music learning process
-
the relationship between musician and instrument
-
how technology can contribute to an embodied approach to instrumental music teaching and learning
The leitmotiv in my work is the interaction between research and practice.That is:
-
my research is practice-based
-
my teaching is research-based
As such, my work emerges at the intersection of content, pedagogical, technological and research knowledge
