Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Music in Canadian schools at one time focused on skills development. Building on talent, aptitude, prior learning and physical coordination, students would become better at singing or playing an instrument by studying it at school. Over time, new approaches to music teaching and learning opened the umbrella to a more comprehensive range of objectives. Human understanding, social relevance, the ability to work and play together, and many other outcomes are now typically expected of school music programmes. The present article sets this pedagogical model against the outcomes expected of university music programmes, especially in performance. While human understanding, social responsibility and the like may be acknowledged as desirable outcomes, most university performance programmes focus on developing human capital — on creating better musicians — who may or may not be better people for it. University performance programmes still intend a kind of learning that was long ago deemed limiting, restrictive and ultimately inappropriate for public school curricula. This investigation posits a new approach to music at the university level, with new pedagogical aims, that takes as its starting point innovative and challenging developments in school music education.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
