• SRL: Enhancing Self-Regulated Learning for Musicians (last edited: 2021) author(s): Susan Williams, Joram van Ketel This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  There is growing evidence that musicians who are self-regulated learners are more likely to succeed. Leading researchers in self-regulated learning claim that is a connection between motivation and self-beliefs, and self-regulation. This research investigated the self-regulation habits of 114 conservatoire students from a major European Conservatoire, and looked at the quality and extent of their self-regulation as well as correlations between the students’ perceived self-efficacy and their self-regulation. After brainstorming sessions with students and staff, a reflective journal was designed to help conservatoire students to steer and document their learning process. Recommendations to teachers and conservatoires are offered on how to facilitate students to become autonomous learners.

• Classic Express Research project (last edited: 2023) author(s): Ilona Sie Dhian Ho, Joram van Ketel, Vivian de Graaff, Ilja Venema, Camilla Genee connected to: KC Research Portal This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  In a combined qualitative and quantitative research the influence of storytelling in concerts for children is analyzed. In a controlled setting, The Classic Express (mobile concert hall), groups of schoolchildren attend either a concert with or a concert without storytelling. The groups, similar in socio- economic background and age, are compared. In a quantitative research the involved listening, the felt emotional intensity, the interest in classical music and the interest in actively playing an instrument, will be measured. For quantification new grading systems are developed by scientists and musicians in a collaborative process. In a qualitative research on the influence of storytelling the focus is on children with severe learning disorders. The emotional responses of these children in concerts with and without storyelling, and in combination with participatory elements (moving, gestures) are observed by teachers and caretakers, They compare their observations in the concert to the normal behaviour of their pupils. Both Interviews with the teachers and their grading of arousal, attention and emotional levels in the concert will provide data that will be analyzed by the reserachers. This research is the first study of The Classic Expression Research Group, a group of researchers from the Royal Conservatoire and Leiden University, collaborating to provide new insights on the impact of presentation techniques in classical concerts.
