Performative music education for music students. A case study

Abstract

In postmodern music education there has been a great demand for new ways of conceptualizing teaching-learning processes to make musical appropriation and empowerment more meaningful and effective. This demand calls for the use of tools derived from modern music, from rhizomatic learning as well as those from the participant's own social context. As a result of this demand many educational proposals have arisen, such as the Informal Music Learning and the Performative Music Education This research paper is a case study on collective instrumental classes given in a further education center for music in Spain, made in order to investigate the methodological practices used and to analyse the way in which they are moving towards the practices previously mentioned. It also serves as a means of research to see if these practices have a significant impact on the training of future professional musicians.
