    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.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

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.
