    Teaching Music with Keyboard Improvisation: a Pedagogical Journey Involving Four Older Adults

    Teaching Music with Keyboard Improvisation: A Pedagogical Journey Involving Four Older Adults by Lisa Tahara A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Lisa Tahara 2015 Teaching Music with Keyboard Improvisation: A Pedagogical Journey Involving Four Older Adults Lisa Tahara Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The life expectancy of individuals has risen in the twentieth-century, due largely to improvements in health, technology, and nutrition. Accordingly, the older adult population has been increasing rapidly and, as a result, there is a need for greater attention and emphasis to be placed on their wellbeing. Research has shown that the older adult population is interested in music learning programs where they may be given the opportunity to actively create music in group settings. However, music programs have traditionally been based on notation and reading, and this approach may not be optimal for a student entering a music learning program later in life. This research study began as an exploration of how music instruction with improvisation may impact the wellbeing, enjoyment, and confidence levels of older adults. Four older adults between the ages of 83 and 90 participated in a music learning program involving a basic curriculum and improvisation over a period of three months. Qualitative data was collected in the form of audiovisual materials, individual interviews, and through focus group sessions. Quantitative data was gathered using pre and post-test surveys to examine differences in quality of life, musical aptitude, and mood.
