Music departments, with their lively classrooms and many extended curriculum activities, offer vast potential for researching and disseminating ideas across the wider educational community. Teachers have the advantage of being embedded in the school context as ‘practitioner researchers’, able to draw on their lived experience in questioning the musical behaviours that they encounter on a daily basis.
