Sammanfattning

For centuries, teaching classical instruments has exclusively relied on one-to-one tuition also when teaching young children. While this form of teaching has dominated Swedish Art and Music Schools (SAMS), lately there has been an increasing political, economic, and educational interest in group tuition. SAMS are publicly funded by the municipalities to be affordable also for children whose parents have limited economic resources. Since group teaching requires fewer teacher resources it may reduce the fee. However, teachers have raised concerns of how to make musical progress when teaching multiple students simultaneously. The aim of this article is to investigate how instrumental teachers teach in group lessons, and how they verbalise their actions. This qualitative, multiple methods study (stimulated recall, observations, and interviews) investigates teaching in an instrumental group through the theoretical framework Communities of Musical Practice. The results show that musical progression such as skills development and adding songs to the repertoire is made possible by extensive play and by applying different strategies to keep all students active during group lessons.
