    Konstnärligt uttryck i sångundervisning: En undersökning om vilka undervisningsmetoder sånglärare använder sig av2024Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att bidra med kunskap om hur sånglärare talar om undervisningsmetoder i konstnärligt uttryck. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med tre sånglärare på gymnasiet. Därefter har sånglärarnas utsagor analyserats utifrån ett didaktiskt perspektiv och en tematisk analys för att uppfatta vilka undervisningsmetoder sånglärarna talar om. Resultatet visar att sånglärarna talar om flera tillvägagångssätt i undervisningen vilket har sammanställts i fem kategorier: Reflektion, Anpassning, Interpretation, Relationsskapande och Inspirationskällor. De främsta undervisningsmetoderna i konstnärligt uttryck sånglärarna talar om är: Att ställa frågor till eleverna för att skapa reflektion och medvetenhet, anpassa metoder utifrån elevens behov och förutsättningar samt att skapa en trygg miljö för eleverna.

    Att spela med känsla: Hur mental träning kan påverka musikaliska framträdanden2024Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This master’s thesis examines different mental training tools that musicians can utilize in order to be more comfortable on stage and to let the music flow unobstructed. The study focuses to a great extent on the art of visualizations in order for the musician to redirect their attention from intruding performance thoughts towards a defined musical and emotional expression. In addition, the study explores how other tools such as singing, meditating, dancing, breathing and positive affirmations can affect the performance, as well as how the audience experience the concert. The study was carried out with the help of artist- and performance coach Christine Löfgren, and with the help of Kenny Werner's book “Effortless Mastery: Liberating the Master Musician Within”. The work observes the musical and personal development the author Ludvig Dahlström has undergone during his last semester at the master's program in classical viola at Edsberg, Royal College of Music, Stockholm. The final result was performed at an graduation recital on May 29, 2023 and is documented with an audio recording. The study concludes that the mental training has been successful, resulting in measurable differences such as a bigger sound, a more natural musical flow and an increased well-being on stage and in general, as well as an improvement in focus and quicker learning. In addition, the study has resulted in a general improvement of self-esteem of the writer and a closer communication with the audience.

    Spela efter, för och emot noter på elgitarr: Gymnasieelevers diskursiva uppfattningar kring notläsning på elgitarr2024Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In this study, it is evident that sight reading is not always considered necessary by high school electric guitar students. However, there are certain occasions when they highly appreciate it. This study examines discursive perceptions and discursive content in high school students' statements about reading sheet music on the electric guitar. Focus groups have been used to collect data for the analysis. The theoretical perspective in the analysis of this work is discursive psychology, which is used to interpret how underlying assumptions, norms, and values shape a discourse. Understanding something discursively involves considering that within different cultural, historical, and other contexts, there are various factors shaping what is considered normative. The research questions are "How do high school students discuss reading sheet music on the electric guitar?" and "How can high school students' relationship to reading sheet music on the electric guitar be understood discursively?". The results indicate two discursive perceptions regarding reading sheet music on the electric guitar: sheet music and self-realization, as well as sheet music as difficult to learn but useful. The findings show that high school students find sheet music important in various contexts. The pedagogical implications are to tailor sheet music instruction to the students' level and to promote motivation and engagement.

    Musikpedagogik i en digital utveckling: En undersökning om hur musiklärare förhåller sig till digitala verktyg för musikskapande samt hur digitala verktyg kan implementeras i musikundervisning2024Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In today's digital age, students must develop technology skills for various purposes, including music-making. To this end, the Swedish school system has mandated that music teachers incorporate digital tools for music-making into the curriculum for primary students from 1st to 9th grade. This essay examines integrating digital tools for music-making with primary students and the experiences of music teachers who have used these tools in their teaching. The study employed two methods, including interviews with two music teachers who participated in workshops organized by an organization’s project that focuses on digital tools for music- making with teachers and students. Additionally, observations were made during one of these workshops. The study's findings showed that the workshops have equipped the teachers with new knowledge on how to incorporate digital tools into their music teaching and that there are interactive methods to implement digital tools for music-making.
