About this exposition

Name: Rinske van Oosterhout Main subject: Master Horn Research supervisors: Pete Saunders and Kathryn Cok. Title: Horn lessons at primary schools. Research question: How to create a safe basis, both musically and socially, in horn groups lessons in the primary school? Summary of results: In this research I have made a lesson program for students in primary schools. Teaching in groups, each with their own instrument. The goal of the research was to bring the music lessons and lessons at primary schools together as close as possible. For that, there has been looked at giving good horn lessons for young children, giving good ‘primary school’ lessons and creating a safe learning environment. If you want students to actively participate in the lessons, they must feel at home. This requires 3 basic needs: relation, competence and autonomy. As a teacher you are responsible for this. You also have the responsibility to take on the five roles of the teacher: host, presenter, didactic, pedagogue and concluder. As a teacher you need to be able to set up a good lesson plan, such as the direct instruction model. Differentiation must be applied smartly. Finally, the first 6 weeks are the most important of the group formation, therefore my lesson program is based on 6 lessons. By using a STARR reflection model, every lesson made and given has been reflected on a structural way. The results were positive. By setting small but achievable goals, there was rest during the lessons and enough time to pay attention to the group process. During rehearsals and concerts, it became clear that the group was quieter compared to other groups and years. This is the result of a positive pedagogical climate. The purpose of the research has been achieved. Biography: Rinske is a horn player and teacher. As a freelance musician Rinske is active in both the orchestra an the ensemble circuit.
