Abstract

This study investigate the process of constructing a practice of “musicking” in Japanese music education context, and assess the practice by employing the structure of Universal Design. Ultimately, the study seeks a possibility of universal design in music education context by pursuing the practice of “musicking”. Musicking is a new concept originally introduced by Small (1998). In musicking, whether by performing, by listening, by rehearsing or practicing, by composing, by dancing, and even by supporting other musicians, to music is for everyone participate in any capacity of musical lives (Small, 1998). In this study, the practitioner researchers spent 3 years conducting series of workshops to design a practice model of musicking by implementing traditional instruments including violin, technological instruments and shakuhachi and other expressive art forms. To assess the process of musicking for everyone to participate in musical activity, the study employed the idea of universal design in music education and The Guideline for Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and descriptively analyzed the practice for reflection. Consequently, the study introduces the practice model of musicking and addresses critical issues for universal design in music education settings.
