Produktbeschreibung
In current times, issues of curriculum relevance are driving a raft of reforms and reviews in higher education. The unmet needs of students in terms of employment outcomes, particularly in the area of the performing arts, are increasingly a matter of concern. For tertiary music institutions, the need to attach greater importance to student needs has forced a more critical reappraisal of curriculum priorities. An effect of this has been ongoing debate within music institutions about the nature and purposes of music curriculum as a university offering. This book examines the implications of this, by investigating the relevance of keyboard curriculum as it is currently understood in one tertiary music institution. By investigating the articulation of needs and how they impact on those who teach and learn, the research aims to improve the institution?s capacity to respond appropriately to ?student needs?. The author argues that more attention needs to be paid to building communities that share a common discourse. This book will be of interest to anyone in the fields of curriculum development, higher education, music pedagody, or the tertiary music environment.
