Abstract

The research-practice gap in music education has been discussed for decades. Many attempts have been made to explain the gap and offer recommendations for bridging it. However, few systematic examinations of the gap have been undertaken. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how a model of brokerage structures can be applied to guide future inquiry into the gap. Context around the research-practice gap in music education is provided, the concept of brokerage models in social settings is explained, and then four brokerage structures are elaborated on and applied.
