Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and musical behaviour
Recent estimates indicate that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is prevalent in about 2.5% of adults and 5.9% of young people. Negative impacts of ADHD are often reported in academic performance, emotional and cognitive functioning, and peer relationships, but little is known about ADHD and music. Using a detailed case study approach, structured observations in contrasting settings over a period of several school terms were made of…
Music Teachers' Perceptions of, and approaches to, Creativity in the Greek‐Cypriot Primary Education
The purpose of this study was to explore music teachers' perceptions of, and approaches to, creativity in Primary education. Even though teachers' perceptions on creativity have been investigated broadly and extensively, qualitative research on music teachers' beliefs nurturing the students' creativity in Primary education are less common. In the present paper, data were collected through in‐depth interviews with 10 individuals in the Greek‐Cypri…
A lifelong perspective for growing music teacher identity
The article discusses a lifelong perspective for growing music teacher identity, particularly related to the in-service development of music teachers. It presents a theoretical framework which is developed from literature reviews on teacher identity development and construction and from case studies of the transformative learning journeys of serving music teachers in Singapore. Seven themes – personal self, activist identity, music, teaching, stu…
Music early learning programs
Music early learning programs (MELPs) that provide music services to parents and carers of children aged birth through 8 years are proliferating. Parents make significant financial and social investments in MELPs, yet little is known of their motivations and aspirations nor of the enduring outcomes of participation. This article reports the findings of an interview study with 10 parents, 1 grandparent, and 8 child former participants in a MELP pr…
The preparation of music teachers in Brazil and England
This paper examines and compares teaching practice models of three music teacher training courses originating from Brazil and England, as well as addressing issues regarding the initial preparation of the music teacher in both countries. Activity theory was employed as a theoretical framework to explain the related factors involved in both models’ implementation. A number of challenges were indentified such as: (i) how to balance the theoretical …

The Pedagogical Use of Visual Feedback for Enhancing Dynamics in Higher Education Piano Learning and Performance
Research on technology-based learning and teaching has demonstrated evidence of its relevant role in music education. However, the application of technology to studio-based instrumental learning and teaching remains a relatively under-researched area. The article draws on findings from a recent exploratory study (HAMOND, 2017) which included fieldwork in Brazil. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature and potential pedagogical use of …
Modelo conceitual para a compreensão da ansiedade na performance musical
A maior parte das pesquisas realizadas sobre Ansiedade na Performance Musical (APM) tem considerado sua relação com as características internas do intérprete musical, a condição de preparação para a performance e fatores relativos ao ambiente no momento da execução. Os métodos para o seu alívio geralmente têm natureza clínica. Poucas pesquisas situam-se ao redor de um modelo conceitual explícito e abrangente. Este artigo propõe um quadro teórico …
O canto como comunicação interpessoal e intrapessoal
A vocalização humana apresenta pontos chave do nosso desenvolvimento musical e é ela que promove nossas primeiras manifestações de habilidades para podermos nos comunicar musicalmente. As melodias da fala constituem os primeiros elementos linguísticos a serem vivenciados e dominados, e são precursores indistinguíveis do canto melódico, posto que são elementos essenciais na comunicação musical intrapessoal e interpessoal. O canto como forma de com…
Musicalidade humana sob o prisma cognitivo-evolucionista
Este trabalho visa discutir a musicalidade humana sob um prisma cognitivo-evolucionista. Busca refletir acerca da complexidade da manifestação musical num panorama que articula os períodos transcorridos entre os tempos remotos da espécie Homo sapiens até a sua interação na era da Cultura Digital. As reflexões são fundamentadas em pesquisas que mostram um fazer musical ininterrupto, que inicia nos primórdios da humanidade e segue significativo até…

Associations between early shared music activities in the home and later child outcomes
Professional identities and motivations of musicians playing in healthcare settings
The role of professional musicians playing in healthcare settings is largely non-documented, chiefly because musicians have worked on a voluntary basis or outside established music programmes. However, research in arts and health suggest that these musicians have acquired a level of expertise and that they have consequently developed a professional identity related to their work. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two groups of musici…
The incidental impact of music on hospital staff
Objective: This study focuses on a group of nurses (n = 11) and doctors (n = 9) who have been regularly exposed to live music for the past five years, as part of a music programme targeted on children, in an Italian paediatric hospital. The aims of the study were to focus on the impact of incidental exposure to music of the hospital staff and to analyse any repercussion that such exposure had on their work. Methods: Grounded theory research metho…
Early career challenges in secondary school music teaching
The article reports an Economic and Social Research Council‐funded study of the early career experiences of secondary school music teachers in England, set within a wider national picture of decreasing age‐related pupil engagement with school music, career perceptions of music teaching, variable patterns of teacher recruitment and possible mismatches between the musical biographies of young people and intending music teachers. Qualitative and qua…
Musical genre and gender as factors in higher education learning in music
Educational and psychological research suggests that gender and musical genre can influence musical learning and the development of musical identities, particularly during adolescence. However, there is a relative paucity of educational studies in higher education (HE) concerning the possible impact on musical learning of gender and musical genre, either individually or collectively. As part of a two‐year comparative study funded under the Econom…
Developing identities and attitudes in musicians and classroom music teachers
Background.The Western classical training of many secondary music specialist teachers may be inappropriate for the demands of the contemporary secondary school classroom, leading to a conflict between their self-concepts as 'musicians' and as 'teachers'.Aims.To undertake a short-term longitudinal comparison of the developing identities and the attitudes of a group of intending specialist secondary music teachers, during the transition into their …
Early Childhood Musical Development
Musical perception, cognition and behaviour are species-specific capabilities that, like language, originate in basic neurological structures. Musical development in early childhood is a complex product of human potential interfacing with, and being mediated by, socio-cultural influences and opportunities. At any given moment, musical behaviour reflects this interaction and synthesis, creating observable differences between individuals as they fo…
