Philpott, Chris – British Journal of Music Education, 2022
It can be argued that Swanwick's research and scholarship established the field of music education as an area of interdisciplinary study in the United Kingdom.

Anderson, Anthony – British Journal of Music Education, 2022
Curriculum design is a domain that infrequently forms a discrete element of initial teacher training, or continuing professional development for music teachers in English secondary schools. Classroom music teachers, teaching Key Stage 3 (KS3) learners (11-14-year olds), are, however, required to design their own curriculum. Teachers are…

Fortuna, Sandra; Nijs, Luc – British Journal of Music Education, 2022

This study contributes to the research by investigating whether varied qualities of body movement, when aligned to music may affect the way children attribute meaning to that music. To address this question, 34 children (aged 9-10) were divided…

Booth, Nikki; Kinsella, Victoria – British Journal of Music Education, 2022
Meyer and Land's work (among subsequent others) on threshold concepts (TCs) has been influential in numerous subjects, particularly in higher education. However, despite its growing international interest, its application into the domain of music in schools is a highly under-researched area. This article draws on the notion of TCs focusing on the…
