Proceedings of the VI Symposium on the Paradigms of Teaching Musical Instruments in the 21st Century

Abstract

In order to discuss and contextualize these issues, the VI STMI included communications related to the topic of instrument teaching covering three broad chronological periods: (1) an overview of the past, (2) the present, and (3) the future. Thus, for each of these chronological periods, work was presented from different areas of research, such as: historical musicology, performance practice, composition/repertoire, pedagogy (e.g. methods and techniques; the teaching of ‘old’ or new instruments), 'new musicology' (e.g. gender studies and ‘new’ music styles; jazz, pop, world), and music technology.
