How Ecoliterate Are We? Examining a Competence-Based Model of Musical Ecoliteracy in Light of Current Scholarly Discourse
This article highlights the nature of the emerging field of ecoliteracy in music education and contributes to expanding the conversation in this area. A recent model of musical ecoliteracy is presented, that integrates ecomusicological and ecosocial research traditions. This model of musical ecoliteracy is applied to analyse empirical data that maps the prevalence of ecological awareness and ecoliteracy across 18 internationally esteemed and high…
A partnership composition project between professional composers, a university music education program, and a comprehensive school extended music program
In this Finnish-based study, professional composers ( n = 2), student music teachers ( n = 6), eighth-grade comprehensive school pupils studying in an extended music program ( n = 22), and university and school music educators ( n = 2) were brought together to pilot a partnership model for teaching and learning music composition. The one-year project offered (a) a composition pedagogy course for student music teachers, including lectures by compo…
Preservice Music Teachers’ Soundscape Memories as Indicators of Musical Eco-Literacy
This study investigates preservice music teachers’ meaningful soundscape memories and how these memories reflect students’ general musical eco-literacy. We ask: Do sound memories reflect the factors in the Paananen model of eco-literacy? A theory-driven content analysis was performed based on the Paananen model’s competency categories. The data entries were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Fleiss’ kappa was used to check for…
Play—An essential part of children’s lives and their computational empowerment
This article addresses the computational empowerment of children, with an emphasis on the importance of play in realizing it. Although play has been brought up as central for children within numerous disciplines, there is a lack of thorough treatment of the phenomenon in the context of technology design, computational thinking, and computational empowerment. The objective of this research is to open the eyes of adults to see children’s play and i…
Musical backgrounds and musical identity development in pre-service music education and primary education students
This study examined Finnish first-and second-year music education major students and primary education students who participate 25-credits minor subject studies in music, childhood and adolescent musical experiences and musical paths. The participants (N = 30) were asked to write an essay on the topic ‘Music and Me’. Using holistic content analysis, five different composite stories were formed, each representing a different developmental path to …
Melodic improvisation at the age of 6–11 years
The keyboard melodic improvisations of 6–11-year-old children (N = 36) were explored for age-related development and representational types of production. The hypotheses were founded on a model of musical development by the present author. The participants heard a 24-bar ABA-formed piano-bass-percussion- accompaniment. Section A was tonal and section B was modal, lacking the tonic. Age was a significant factor in the development of the tonal hier…
