First Stage: Implementation, Observations, and Modifications from the Perspective of a Teacher Researcher

Abstract

In the first stage of investigation, I tried the flexible pedagogical sequences in a classroom with students between the ages of 11 and 13 in three schools in Canada, Switzerland, and Argentina (first level of research). During this stage, the sequences were implemented and modified. This chapter is about the observations made during this stage, and the decisions I made in order to modify our work in the hope of allowing students access to the production and writing of music during their composition task, and to foster a discussion between the students and the teacher.
