Engaging music performance students in practice-led reflective essay writing and video/recording analysis

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses several factors in the process of engaging second year university music performance students in practice-led reflective essay writing. Students were asked to enhance this reflection through videoing or recording their performing. The chapter outlines the topics designed to capture reflective essay writing, what equipment students find most conducive to video performing, and levels of reflection drawn into the students’ observations and writing. Asking students to shape this writing into an essay format requires that they formalise their reflective, often reflexive, thinking.
