About this exposition

In this research, I show that music theory was until the 19th c. initiated by compositional practice and after that by a musicological practice. Or as Michiel Schuijer puts it: “… performers did not have a big stake in the development of contemporary music theory (…) It is not difficult to understand, then, why practicing musicians have never fully embraced the legacy of music theory”. This year, I began a pilot in which first-year trombone and percussion students bring their instrument to class, the results of which will be discussed in this presentation. I intend to demonstrate and reflect on the material I have developed so far, how it is used in class, how the idea of connecting to a 'players' practice can be formed in exercises and games, and how connections between playing, singing and knowing can be reinforced. I will reflect on the whole process and give some conclusions and ideas for further research.
