Where is music heading in El Sistema? : A qualitative study of the musical aspect of El Sistema´s work (English)
Abstract [en]

This study is about El Sistema, a choir- and orchestra school, that focuses on social development and uses music as a tool to achieve their aims. They primarily work where it is needed the most. Their vision is to get all children, independent of social status, opportunity to take part in instrumental- and choir lessons. The purpose of this study is to shed light on how the El Sistema teachers enable musical learning to take place among the participants. Socio-cultural perspectives on learning, situated learning, the different layers of music from the theory of Frede V. Nielsen, and the intrinsic value of musical experience are used as theoretical starting points. The method in this study was qualitative, semi-structured interviews. This study was conducted with four qualitative interviews. The result shows that musical issues are, to some extent, neglected in El Sistema´s work, that different educators within El Sistema are differently aware of the musical aspect, and how the musical quality is to be achieved in the work, despite the fact that El Sistema has highly appointed musical goals. The result also shows that musical learning is promoted by teaching children in small groups, several times a week.

Abstract [sv]

Den här uppsatsen handlar om El Sistema, en kör-och orkesterskola, som arbetar för social samt mänsklig utveckling främst där behoven är störst. El Sistema anser fokusera på social utveckling och använder musiken som medel för att nå dit. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur El Sistema lägger tillrätta för att det musikaliska lärandet ska kunna ske bland deltagarna. Som teoretiska utgångspunkter används sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande, situerat lärande, musikens olika lager ur Frede V. Nielsens teori samt den musikaliska erfarenhetens egenvärde. Metoden har varit kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fyra kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med fem informanter, varav fyra stråklärare och en rytmiklärare. Resultatet visar att musikaliska frågor till viss del är åsidosatta i El Sistemas arbete. Resultatet visar även att pedagoger inom El Sistema i olika grad inte är medvetna om hur den musikaliska kvalitén ska uppnås i arbetet, trots att El Sistema har högt uppsatta mål när det gäller det musikaliska uttrycket.
