    The Assessment of Musical Attainment: Acquiring Cultural Capital and Building Learning Power in Instrumental Music Tuition A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Education June Bonfield-Brown November 2018 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author.

Abstract This thesis describes an action research project undertaken within a mass participation instrumental music programme situated in East London. This action research project aimed to improve the way in which instrumental music pupils are assessed through the use of the graded examination. It also intended to provide opportunities to gain social and cultural capital for children in East London that are available in more affluent areas of the United Kingdom. The action research methodology was employed over three cycles of research. The research involved six instrumental music teachers, including myself, as an active participant. Data was collected through focus group interviews and semi-structured interviews which were analysed using thematic and narrative analysis. Amongst the main findings of this thesis are the following: The current graded examination is unsuitable and inaccessible to children learning to play musical instruments in a group learning context.

To answer the first question, literature reviews were conducted of interventions aimed at improving health education; preventing music performance anxiety (MPA) and performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs); and conserving musicians’ hearing. A survey of European conservatoires was conducted to explore their provision of health education. A range of programmes was reported; they vary widely in focus, quality, and outcomes. Only 21 responses were received, so firm conclusions cannot be drawn, but guidelines on health education are clearly worth developing. A study of trends in students’ use of counselling at a UK music conservatoire showed year-on-year increases in sessions attended, primarily for issues related to self-esteem, relationships, academic concerns, loss, abuse and anxiety. To answer the second question, a compulsory health and wellbeing course for 103 first year students at the same conservatoire was designed on the basis of findings described above and in collaboration with members of Healthy Conservatoires.

  • Year 12 Performing Arts Applications

    Year 12 Performing Arts Applications

    Year 12 Performing Arts Applications Performing Arts courses are available in music, dance, acting and theatre/screen production to name but a few and unlike other subjects, applicants can apply to study through UCAS, UCAS Conservatoires or through direct applications to independent institutions. University, conservatoire and independent school courses can all lead to a Bachelor’s degree. As a general rule: Conservatoire/Independent courses place more emphasis on practical development with individual tuition and performance opportunities to help you towards a career in the creative arts. University courses focus more on academic study, for example, history, analysis, criticism, harmony and counterpoint, and the philosophy and psychology of the performing arts. This study can also be combined with other subjects to give a broad critical and theoretical education. Due to the multiple application opportunities it is essential that you research course content on individual institution websites and streamline applications to target those institutions you believe are most likely to offer you a place. Things to consider include: • Who are the tutors and are they experts in areas you want to gain experience in? • What’s the balance between practical training, lectures, seminars and performances? • What performance opportunities and masterclasses are available? • What professional and industry links does the institution have • What creative arts does the institution specialise in? • Can you get experience in or payment for public performances? • Check with the institution if you are not sure which courses you are qualified for. If there is uncertainty, apply for the highest-level course you are interested in and a final decision will be made at audition/interview Studying at a Conservatoire/Independent All courses have a strong vocational, performance orientation, and course structures are reflective of the industry.

    AccessHE – UKADIA Creative HE Possibly more now than ever before in history, the creative arts have a fundamental part to play in our development and survival as human beings. In an increasingly digital age, where AI and robotics have made life easier, in many respects we are in danger of becoming culturally poorer and disconnected from each other. We are challenged to ask ourselves ‘what makes us human?’ and what differentiates the human from the digital experience. We care, we play, we seek meaning and we are creative and we need to nurture our future creative talent because it is in this future that creativity will be the single most valuable commodity in both the arts and industry. One will no longer be separated from the other because the world needs creative solutions to the problems we all face. At a time when the place of the creative arts in the English school curriculum is less than assured, it is essential that the future workforce has the chance to engage with these disciplines and understands the full breadth of available options when it comes to studying a creative subject at HE level. With this guide, a joint resource developed by AccessHE and the UK Arts and Design Institutions Association, we hope to capture the richness and variety of creative courses on offer at HE providers in England, and give advice to prospective students considering further study in these areas.
