Background<\/strong><\/p>\n Historically, music instruction, as it is found at music and cultural schools and conservatories, has often been organized as apprenticeships, wherein teachers transmit their experience through music. In extension of this, this project\u2019s thesis is that general education includes a range of subjects that are useful for music instructors to understand more systematically.<\/p>\n This project is intended to convey specific aspects of general educational knowledge through instructional videos<\/em>, which are considered an effective means of conveying specialized knowledge. This knowledge will supplement music teachers\u2019 practice-based skills, and inspire their teaching practices. In other words, its purpose is to develop the connection between a birds-eye view (overview and meta-understanding) and a \u201cfrog\u2019s-eye\u201d view (the actual educational setting) of teaching.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n Outcomes <\/strong><\/p>\n Production of three English-subtitled instructional videos about the didactic relationship model<\/em>, the didactic triangle<\/em>, and the concept of transfer in music education<\/em>. These instructional videos could contribute to the development of a common, emergent pedagogic language among music instructors, and are available on The Royal Academy of Music\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n Watch Torben’s video on the didactic relationship model<\/p>\n\n
