Creating music as a way of demonstrating relational learning and the affective component in teaching

This research project aims to investigate the creative music practices of primary school children and their interactions with their teacher. There are benefits for the school where student and teacher participants are. The school benefit will be from understanding the thinking behind the creative practices of children. This may extend into the wider community. A shared sense of learning discovery by teacher and student can be awakened in creative projects such as collaboratively making music.
