Teachers as researchers as common within improvisation?

National perspecitves in comparison?

Common aspects of all the projects?

Consequences for teacher training?

# data[].attributes.body
Should we talk about agency instead of freedom: how to achieve improvisational and creative agency in compulsory music lessons?

What role does voluntariness play in improvisation? the concept of PLAY

How do we deal with Freedom as a relational concept….free from what? Or whom? Genres?

Can we teach improvisation /what are the (socio-ecological) conditions that support improvisation in music education?

How do we talk about improvisation (with the students)?

How is the freedom of expression related to musical skills and experience? What do different skill levels and characters within an improvising group mean for authority and the visions of freedom and equity?

Julians questions from the presentation: Should transitions to the interpretation of notated music be made fluently, or should improvisation stand on its own as a clearly delineated practice?
Is moving on an imaginary continuum between idiomatic, more structured forms of improvisation on one hand, and free forms of improvisation on the other, interesting in pedagogical settings?
Or are these practices so different that each should stand on its own and be taught within its own logic and tradition?

Johannes' question from the presentation: How can we initiate improvisation, as the musical negotiation of normative codes, and how can we promote their "pleasurable dismantling" by the students?
