About this exposition

Name: Vera Schippers Main subject: Music education according to the Kodály concept Research supervisor: Renee Jonker Title of research: Collaboration and creativity in Kodály inspired music lessons Research question: How can I create more space for collaboration and creativity in music lessons inspired by the Kodály concept when applied to group 6/7. Summary of results: During the action part of the research, I tried different ways of using collaboration and creativity in Kodály inspired music lessons, and looked at the influence of both aspects on the groups dynamic and involvement of the pupils. Because there are lots of different activities in my music lessons which are Kodály inspired, I incorporated more activities which are focusing on collaboration and creativity. By giving more assignments in smaller groups I tried to focus on both aspects. That is one way how I can create more space for collaboration and creativity. Next to that there are other ways to encourage collaboration and creativity. By making conscious decisions about the focus of the role of the teacher (leader). The focus can be teaching or coaching. Both focusses are needed during lessons but when you act like a coach the responsibility is with the pupils. This creates ownership which has a positive effect on the involvement of the pupils and the quality of the music making. By encouraging the collaborative aspect in music lessons, the formation of the pupils plays an important part. There should always be enough variety in formations but by playing an activity in a circle they automatically make a natural connection and it has a positive influence on the group dynamics and the involvement of the pupils. This way all individuals are taking care of the group needs next to their individual needs. By using different activities, being aware of the role of the teacher, creating ownership by the pupils and by choosing formations which help them connect to each other, I used collaboration and creativity in my music lessons. They are Kodály inspired and contribute to making a unity during the musical lessons but also take care of the individual needs. This, above all, in a playful way. Biography: My name is Vera Schippers, I am 23 years old and live in Tilburg. Before starting my Master at the Royal conservatory, I studied for becoming a music teacher at the Fontys school of arts in Tilburg. There, I taught music lessons to a lot of different target groups. Primary school and special needs educations turn out to be my favorites. Nowadays, I work at several primary schools in Best, where I teach music children aged 10 tot 12. Next to that I give singing lessons to several musical groups from different ages.
