摘要:In higher education music instrument teaching, there is a strong tradition of high-level performersbeing recruited to teach advanced students within the private studio despite the fact these educatorsoften have no training in pedagogy. The studio environment also continues to be dominated by theone-to-one lesson format and the master-apprentice tradition. While the literature overviews a longhistory of the master-apprentice tradition in various fields, there is to date minimal empiricalresearch that specifically evidences the extent to which it is cyclical in nature. This paper reports onsurvey data from 54 current tertiary educators across four countries who were asked to identify thekey influences on how they work within the music studio. The data point not only to the influence ofthe master-apprentice tradition, but also to the fact that most current educators rely on previousteachers and experiences of teaching to inform their pedagogy.
