Throw them in the deep end. The potential of musical improvisation in connecting participatory music activities and formal music education. KU Leuven
There is a growing evidence that musical improvisation has the potential to promote a music education for all. This perspective calls for a critical consideration of the social and musical dimensions of music education and improvisation. In this respect, participatory music activities often use improvisation and especially, collective free improvisation (CFI), to promote inclusive music making.

Toward a meaningful technology for instrumental music education : teachers’ voice Ghent University
In musical instrument training, researchers have gradually started exploring the potential of interactive technologies supporting learning processes and teaching methods. Although numerous technological tools have been proposed to enhance instrument learning and teaching, these methods rarely find their way into daily practice and teaching routines. In this study, we report data from an online survey study administered to violin and drum kit ...
Cognitive inhibitory control in children following early childhood music education Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The relationship between music training and executive functions has remained inconsistent in previous studies, possibly due to methodological limitations. This study aims to investigate cognitive inhibitory control in children (9-12 years old) with and without musical training, while carefully considering confounding variables. To assess executive functions, the Simon task was used, measuring reaction times (RTs) and error rates on congruent and ...
The influence of body movement on musical sense-making in primary school children : a multimodal approach in music education Ghent University

Accordingly, this Ph.D research project aims to understand the role of body movement on childrenU+2019s musical sense-making through two empirical studies setup in an educational ecological setting of primary school. In both studies, the childrenU+2019s graphical representations of the music and their ...

We constitute this notion as an interpretative axis connecting, on the one hand, a different perspective on what classical music might mean in the context of general education, and, on the other hand, a more dynamic, techno-ecological concept of both music and education. This paper develops ...
