Intercultural competence is essential in schools attended by students of different ethnicities, cultures, and religions. A number of studies have suggested that music facilitates the transmission of values and emotions inherent in intercultural competence. The role of teachers is considered essential as well. Thus, it is important to consider music teachers’ perceptions on intercultural competence. This study drew out the perceptions of 74 teachers delivering music teaching in primary and secondary schools, conservatories, and music schools in Spain. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. A content validity index of 0.92 was obtained after considering the judgments of 19 experts in the fields of research and practice in music education. The teachers’ responses were analyzed using NVivo (11). The findings highlighted the positive perceptions of the benefits of intercultural competence in students. Aspects such as the lack of training, the requirement to teach a planned/structured curriculum and the shortage of advisors on the subject, emerged as negative perceptions communicated by the teachers.

The aim of the present research was to investigate the evolutionary course of rhythmic development in pre-school children in a private kindergarten (age 4–5 years) in Athens, Greece, through Lucy Green’s ‘Playing by ear’ method. Tools and strategies taken from qualitative methodology, and more specifically from action-research were used. What was investigated was to what extent the ‘Playing by ear’ method developed the rhythmic skills of the students and to what extent it enhanced the students’ ability to play music in small groups without the teacher’s instructions. It is important to mention that the research was conducted in connection with the goals set in the Analytical Curriculum of the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs (ΥΠ.Ε.Π.Θ.). The results of the research showed that Green’s ‘Playing by ear’ method helped the students’ development of rhythmic ability with the use of musical instruments, as well as their rhythmic ability through kinetic behaviour. It also helped students to engage in early experimentation. Finally, the method enhanced the students’ ability to play music in small groups without the teacher’s continuous and direct instruction, developing in this way new communication and cooperation practices and skills.

This quantitative study delves into the music learning needs of working-age individuals in Thailand, focusing on those aged 21 to 59 years outside the music profession. The research, conducted in October 2023, collected responses from 503 participants through an online structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that “As a hobby/for relaxation” emerged as the primary motivation for enrolling in music classes, among currently enrolled, previously enrolled, and prospective participants. Desired learning contexts revealed “Onsite learning” with a “Very High” mean score for current ( x− = 4.89) and past enrollees ( x− = 4.58), while those aspiring to enroll rated this and “Hybrid Learning” in a “High” level. “Private learning” earned a “High” rating across groups, and “Small group learning” received a “High” rating for prospective and past enrollees. Exploring learning styles, participants consistently rated items at a High Level, encompassing “Involvement in learning choices,” “Prioritizing adaptation over theory,” “Using metaphor,” “Visual learning,” “Auditory learning,” and “Kinesthetic learning.” Barriers to music learning, including “Time management” and “Memory,” were notably high among past enrollees. These insights offer valuable guidance for tailoring music activities or lessons to the specific needs of adult learners.

This article investigates musical grit and sisu, inner fortitude, as predecessors of flow, flourishing and personal growth. Grit has been identified as an important factor for success. Our aim was to increase knowledge of the benefits of intensified music education for building grit, resilience and fortitude. Data were collected with mixed methods in 2020 from two schools and 96 children. Surveys were filled out by students in both music and regular classes. Qualitative data about music education experiences were collected through interviews and writing tasks from the music class students and interviews with their teachers. Music classes scored higher than regular classes in perseverance, certain dimensions of flow and musical flourishing. Musical flourishing correlated with playing years and had high correlation with self-efficacy, flow experiences and general well-being. The sequence of facing, but also beating, challenges as a group in musical performances and then feeling flow and flourishing seemed to be beneficial for children’s personal growth. Students in music classes learned not only musical skills, but also resilient and optimistic thinking related to their challenges. The theoretical model of Trust, Hope and Love was revised to display how sisu, the inner fortitude, advances flourishing.

Communities of Practice are integral as a network for engaging in regular interactions, sharing resources, and offering support. As online collegiate communities continue to expand, exploration of virtual courses—specifically, the music student teaching seminar—seems necessary. The purpose of this instrumental case study was to describe music student teachers’ (MSTs, N = 20) and instructors’ experiences in a virtual music student teaching seminar in the United States. Data collection included (a) observations of weekly seminar meetings; (b) focus group interviews with MSTs and seminar instructors; (c) text chat transcripts from virtual meetings and the class Facebook® group; and (d) course documents. Findings highlight the successes and challenges of developing, instructing, and facilitating the seminar in a virtual space, the perceived impact of online chat platforms/functions as an instructional and reflective tool, the benefits of regular seminar meetings, and participants’ perceived purpose of the music student teaching seminar.

Students undertaking higher education music degrees represent a rich tapestry of experiences, cultures and needs. However, equity and inclusion issues related to music students with disability in higher education are frequently addressed in generic ways, and without consultation or consideration of their unique requirements. With limited research available, this qualitative study within an Australian Conservatorium of Music analysed the experiential and situated reflections of 18 music students with disability. Based on our reflexive thematic analysis, we propose that issues related to equity and inclusion for music students in higher education are multi-faceted and interrelated. By foregrounding the participants’ voice, the qualitative themes suggest that enhancements related to disclosure processes, quality of communication and reliability of resources, would fortify equity and inclusion. The findings span the need for reforms at the institutional level, as well as specific professional development for educators and awareness raising amongst the student cohort. Informed by the participants’ lived experience, the findings call for music educators, professional staff and institutional leaders to effectively apply features of inclusive, caring, professional practices so that music students with disability can thrive in higher education.

Within the field of American secondary school wind band teaching, women have been historically and persistently underrepresented, making it important to consider ways to (1) expand pre-service teachers’ opportunities to engage with successful female band directors, and (2) to explore undergraduate women’s insights into becoming female band directors themselves. The purpose of this survey-based study was to explore the perceptions of American female-identifying collegiate music education majors ( N = 32) regarding the American school-based wind band teaching profession and their experiences within an intensive, one day, community-building event for female band directors. Results of the survey and subsequent analysis revealed a lack of female band director role models under whom participants had studied, a significant positive correlation between participants’ confidence in their ability to succeed in the role and their level of motivation for doing so, and a moderately positive perception of belief in their ability to balance potential future parenthood with their career. Thematic analysis of written responses revealed participants’ gender-specific concerns about entering the band directing profession and their takeaways from the day-long event. Implications are provided, including suggestions for pre-service teacher education, future research, and the development of other such events aimed at developing community for female-identifying band directors.

Intonation education plays a crucial role in music education. However, research in this field is relatively scarce. To address this research gap, this review conducts a comprehensive analysis by extensively searching the SCOPUS, WoS, and ERIC databases using the keywords “music,” “education,” and “intonation,” resulting in 326 retrieved articles. After rigorous selection, 13 highly relevant articles were chosen to analyze the trends and developments in intonation education over the past decade. This review focuses on three core themes in intonation education: drone accompaniment, multimodal feedback, and intonation strategies for short-term practice. Our analysis emphasizes the significance of employing diverse teaching methods and feedback strategies in intonation education. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the current research on intonation education primarily focuses on Western educational contexts. This review also reveals that educational methods for intonation training in non-Western music environments remains an underexplored and underdeveloped area. These findings provide an indepth and comprehensive understanding for the future development of intonation education and offer insightful value to music educators and industry professionals.

Educational researchers increasingly focus on psychosocial factors, implying the need for an improvement of school settings regarding child wellbeing. However, so far, studies which focus music-related wellbeing of primary school aged children are rare. The paper explores the essential question which empirically based frameworks offer concrete foundations for corresponding educational practices in the music classroom. Hence, the research conducted a critical interpretive review of English-language publications. In a multi-stage process, it sampled publications between 2017 and 2020 targeting children of early primary school age and focussing on a connection between musical practices and well-being. For a full-text analysis, the research selected studies offering theoretical frameworks for synthetic theorisation. Findings show that until now, few studies have focussed on primary school-aged children. However, it also indicates that an integrative model such as the PERMA Well-being Cycle can function as point of reference for the design of educational settings. Departing from ongoing reflections of this research, the paper argues for a differentiated professional perspective on psychosocial processes in the music classroom and music-related wellbeing as an explicit teaching objective instead of following implicit ‘hidden’, yet powerful agendas. The outcome might serve as the clarification of strategies to foster child wellbeing in music education settings.
