Instrumental Music Education presents insights from instrumental and vocal teaching, including one-to-one and group contexts with learners of varied ages, levels and backgrounds across cultures and genres.
Many of the chapters in this open access book detail critical incidents, issues or challenges that have arisen for the authors; these are considered in relation to reflective practice and theoretical perspectives, exploring diverse approaches, resources and teaching philosophies. The contributors all include instrumental/vocal teaching within their work, and have drawn on a wealth of experience and original research to examine teaching contexts, cultures, processes and resources supporting the development of instrumental/vocal pedagogy.
