The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the experiences of music educators who have experience applying Musical Futures strategies in their own practice. This is an innovative program that incorporates cultural, contemporary, and relevant musical learning for young people in Britain. Phase one of the study included multiple visits to professional development sessions, teacher preparation institutions, and British schools. The second phase involved an online questionnaire designed to uncover issues related to how Musical Futures was implemented in schools, perceived impact on teaching and students, participant comfort with informal learning in the classroom, and the extent to which Musical Futures strategies were aligned with participants' previous music learning. In general, Musical Futures strategies appear to represent a social-constructivist approach to music teaching and learning. The majority of participants indicated Musical Futures strategies were at least somewhat aligned with how they learned to be musical. Participants perceived a wide variety of musical and social benefits among their students and indicated increased confidence and enthusiasm for teaching.
