ABSTRACT Professional identity development (PID) of school music teachers is critical to teacher community sustainability, the quality of school music practices, and the long-term well-being of the music education system. While in-service music teacher training strengthens the occupational aspects of teachers’ identity, the iterative PID process is both content-dependent and context-dependent. Using a framework based on the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC), this study explored school music teachers’ PID profiles in Mainland China after a 10-year implementation of the National Teacher Training Program (NTTP). Prominent characteristics of teachers’ PID were analysed regarding self-efficacy, belief, professional commitment, and task orientation, relating to self-report and observed classroom instructional practices. Statistical analysis showed high coverage of curriculum content in teachers’ daily instructional practices, while minor differences are evident among groups by region, grade band, and years of teaching. The impact of NTTP on PID and implications for in-service music teacher training are discussed.

ABSTRACT The main purpose of this paper was to carry out an analysis of the scientific production in the last decade on the creation and use of materials in the field of music related to digital technology. For this purpose, a bibliometric study was carried out on 773 articles available in Scopus, and a content analysis was done on 252 open access articles. Conceptual clarifications of concepts in the field and a brief contextualisation of the study are also included. We go on to present the findings of the study showing a substantial advance in the use and consideration of digital media in music education. Nevertheless, no indication was found of improvement in learning, comprehensive student development, or competencies.

ABSTRACT There is a need for music education research that uplifts and affirms disabled children by exploring their perceptions of participation in musical experiences in music classrooms. The purpose of this position paper is to a) define what it means to centre perspectives of disabled children, b) provide a rationale for centring perspectives of disabled children in music education research, c) describe and explore reasons why researchers often overlook the perspectives of disabled children, and d) provide information about best practices to centre the perspectives of disabled children in music education research. We highlight ideas for including disabled children in research from the fields of music education, disability studies, and music therapy. Recommendations include applications of participatory research, interviews with children, the Mosaic approach, and the In-The-Picture approach. By centring the perspectives of disabled children, researchers can learn a great deal and work to engage in anti-oppressive research practices.
摘要：音乐教育研究需要通过探索残疾儿童在音乐课堂上参与音乐体验的感受来提升和肯定他们。本立场文件的目的是：a）定义以残疾儿童的视角为中心意味着什么，b）为在音乐教育研究中以残疾儿童视角为中心提供理由，c）描述和探索研究人员经常忽视残疾儿童视角的原因，d）提供有关最佳实践的信息，将残疾儿童的观点集中在音乐教育研究中。我们强调了将残疾儿童纳入音乐教育、残疾研究和音乐治疗领域研究的想法。建议包括应用参与式研究、儿童访谈、Mosaic方法和In the Picture方法。通过集中残疾儿童的观点，研究人员可以学到很多东西，并致力于从事反压迫的研究实践。

ABSTRACT Music as a subject in compulsory education is thought to have both a low reputation and a globally declining relevance. However, research findings have been contradictory in exploring the beliefs of teachers on the subject and have mainly targeted the Anglo-Saxon context. With the present study, we aim to shed light on how teachers understand this subject by adopting an approach that is novel to the extant research. By means of a comparative multi-case study, we contrasted the views of purposefully selected music and non-music teachers in the context of primary education in Spain. Our findings indicate that both cases shared a relativistic perspective on the subject's value, which is conceived as highly dependent on the advocacy and in-class teaching methodology adopted by each music teacher, as well as concerns about its teaching methodology. However, our analysis also reveals several discrepancies between the beliefs of both cases that may lead to mutual misunderstandings. Furthermore, our study suggests a lack of understanding of the role and needs of the music teacher by their counterparts, alongside music teachers having false assumptions about their counterparts’ views on their subject. Finally, we provide implications for increasing the perceived relevance of the subject that may also contribute to a better school climate for music teachers in the context of our participants.

ABSTRACT This research examines the comments on violin instruction videos on YouTube in the context of practice challenges encountered by learners while playing the violin and solutions provided by instructors to these challenges. 205 comments related to the research context were included in the analysis among a total of 4934 comments from 398 violin instruction videos in Turkish and they were examined through qualitative content analysis. It has been observed that all of the practice challenges experienced by learners while playing the violin are at the beginner level. Furthermore, instructors offer solutions to these challenges by providing short instructions, mainly through the comments section. They also emphasise patience and perseverance for learners. In some cases, it has been noticed that instructors assist learners by suggesting off-site communication, encouraging them to watch instructors’ videos again, and recommending taking private lessons to address their specific problems.

ABSTRACT This article explores the potential of gestural migrations as a novel approach to violin pedagogy, allowing us to trace enlightening parallelisms between the learning of musical performative gestures and the gestural dimension of cinema as a time-shaped/shaping artistic discipline. As a case study, I take the first movement of Claude Debussy's Violin Sonata L. 140, composed in 1917, following an empirically grounded quantitative analytical approach. I attempt to trace gestural correspondences with selected scenes from the contemporary French cinematic movement that fascinated the composer in the early years of the twentieth century.

ABSTRACT Criticism of the foundational whiteness of western classical music's socio-cultural heritage remains relatively rare, and the field continues to export a prestigious self-image of cultural and technical superiority. Building on Ben Spatz’ epistemology of practice, I argue that the foundational whiteness of western classical music is principally and most tenaciously embodied within its training and practices, and as such scholarly criticism must also address the transmission of embodied technique. I demonstrate how this foundational whiteness relates to philosophies of transcendence and mind-body dualism, focusing on the case of vocal pedagogy. I analyse pedagogical literature and methods to reveal racialised frameworks and powerfully interpellating practices that require student-practitioners to excise aspects of their identity as the price of entry to their field. In light of this, I propose moving beyond the tokenism that takes the field's superiority for granted, towards a more serious reckoning of its value.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine preservice music educators’ perceptions of how the culture of a music teacher education programme and its embedded communities of practice influenced their occupational identity development. Research questions were (a) What specific cultural influences and communities of practice, if any, did the participants describe as particularly influential in regard to occupational identity development and why? (b) How did the participants describe their respective changes in occupational identities, if any? Participants were preservice music educators enrolled in an early childhood music education methods class with authentic-context learning (ACL) experiences. Data included audio recordings of classes, observational field notes, transcripts from multiple individual interviews and a focus group discussion, and students’ reflection journals. Participants cited several music teacher education courses, embedded ACL experiences, and supportive interactions with peers and professors, as a constellation of factors that influenced an occupational identity transition within themselves to think more broadly about their identities as educators and the means through which music could be taught.
