Pedagogy and Assessment

In this session Professor Martin Fautley will outline some of the ways in which assessment in music education has been used in order to try to develop teaching and learning in music education, focussing mainly on the classroom. The ways in which assessment has been used by music teachers, and the ways in which LTs sometime require music teachers to use assessment will be examined, and the close linkages between curriculum and assessment will be discussed and explored.
