Music Is More: A Broader Concept of Music From A Swedish Perspectiv

Abstract

Young people often feel that there is no place for their own experiences in the world of school, despite the fact that these experiences can seem relevant there. Not least does this become apparent in music. Experience is acquired through interaction with the world. From it come influences, attitudes and wishes, and it can be said to have an active side which changes in value according to the circumstances under which it is acquired. This means that dialogue and participation in music teaching need to be based not only on what one has experienced externally, but also on what one has experienced internally, what one has felt. Thus both longitudinal and transverse aspects of the concept of experience should be considered in the planning and delivery of music curricula.
