ABSTRACTMusical Futures approaches, with their roots in informal learning, have been the subject of much research internationally, with studies showing their significant impact on music education policy and practice.Within a theoretical framework drawn from the work of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, this paper examines the manifestation of habitus as both the nexus at teacher practice (connecting its discrete elements), and the nexus as teacher practice (the focal point of teacher practice). Using Participatory Case Study Research, generalist primary teachers (n = 7) and students (n = 137) from six primary schools in the Republic of Ireland engaged with Musical Futures from a period of ten to thirty weeks.The findings situate teachers’ conceptualisations of self, using habitus as a lens to interpret how these elements mediate and are mediated by practice. These findings illustrate how teachers draw considerably on their personal musical experiences to inform their professional practice. In this research, engagement in Musical Futures generally brought about a renaissance of personal music making for teachers in this study, proffering unique insights into informal and non-formal music teaching and learning within the Irish primary generalist context.KEYWORDS: Musical Futuresinformal learningnon-formal teachingprimary music educationIrish generalist teacherscase study research AcknowledgementsThe author wishes to thank Dr Gwen Moore for her input at every stage of this project.

ABSTRACT
Croatian music education is implemented within the national education system. In this research, we focused on secondary education, or, more precisely, on teachers who work in Specialised music schools – independent institutions that prepare students for higher education in the field of music. The national curriculum for art education in the Republic of Croatia, published in 2017, has still remained at the level of proposal, and the teaching process is conducted according to the syllabuses designed in 2006. Considering these facts, we were interested in how teachers evaluate the syllabuses they follow and what changes they require. We used survey questionnaires and assessment scales, and qualitative and quantitative methods for data analysis. As expected, teachers showed dissatisfaction with the syllabuses they follow. Instrumental and vocal teachers and senior teachers showed somewhat greater satisfaction. The results of the research can help in the creation of new subject curricula and the analysis of the current situation in practice for all those who will be involved in curricular changes.

ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this study is to explore how parents involve themselves in their children’s music practice. It is based on the retrospective views of Chinese collegiate students majoring in music. A total of 14 Chinese students participated in individual semi-structured interviews. The qualitative analysis in this study centred on the type and frequency of parental behaviours. The results demonstrate that each of the participants remembered their parents being involved in their music practice to varying degrees. Specific types of involvement are organised into five categories: controlling, supervising, supporting, engaging, and prohibiting. Based on the findings, a model is proposed to aid understanding of the complexity of parental behaviour of music practice in the Chinese context. A potential trajectory of parental behaviours pertinent to highly self-regulated music learners was also identified. The study suggests possible theoretical foundations for further exploration of the role of parents in music learning.

ABSTRACT
This paper explores how Chilean teachers approach fundamental aspects of rhythm, verifying their consistency with cognitive processing theory and findings. 203 music teachers completed a validated questionnaire with closed and open items regarding how they approach pulse, tempo, meter and rhythmic patterns during rhythm production and perception activities. The results show that, in general, teaching practices are congruent with the scientific evidence related to the processing of these musical aspects. Finally, the use of elements that facilitate synchronization or constant pulse is suggested: optimal tempi ranges for adults, use of binary meters, and the use of rhythmic patterns that prioritise the double-half relationship.

ABSTRACT Reflecting an international shift from punitive to more rehabilitative responses to youth offending, many Australian youth justice systems are undergoing significant revision and reform. The urgency of these changes are intensified by longstanding inequities pertaining to the gross overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth and documented violations of human rights within Australian youth detention centres. As state and territory jurisdictions strive towards more child-centred practices, music programmes have been seen to provide transformative experiences for incarcerated young people through opportunities to express themselves and form positive relationships with others. In considering the potentials of music programmes to contribute towards such a child-centred youth justice ‘solution’, this article reports a poststructural policy analysis of Australian youth justice policy texts that produce child-centredness in particular ways. Music programmes are thus positioned as inherently political endeavours that hold potential to reinforce or disrupt policy problems, with implications for equity and justice.
