Abstract

Forty or so years ago, those countries which had music in schools based their curricula on musical appreciation and class singing, involving a mixture of mainly post-seventeenth century Western classical music and settings of European and North American folk songs. Despite the existence of Orff instruments, in most schools instrumental tuition only took place outside the classroom during extra-curricular time. Although some pupils studied rudiments, harmony and counterpoint, virtually no-one studied composition until they were in Higher Education. By contrast, as we enter the new millenium, teachers in many countries have become quite accustomed to incorporating all sorts musical activities into the classroom, involving everyone in not only singing, but playing an array of instruments, composing and improvising as well as listening to a huge variety of musical styles including popular, folk and classical music from all over the world.
