Abstract

In this article I present an argument or why improvisation in schoolmusic education is important. Trough a theoretical ramework thatpromotes and arms access and participation, I begin with an analysiso the literature and reveal three perspectives; improvisation and musi-cianship, improvisation as a situated orm o cultural and musical learning,and improvisation as experience. With an emphasis on improvisationas experience, I consider the opportunities or teachers and students toembark on signicant journeys o musical discovery where improvisationis always a part o what happens. Recasting amiliar concepts I thendescribe some approaches to improvisation explaining how I employ and mobilize terms such as event, acilitation, play and participation,and sae space. I conclude by suggesting that improvisation needs to betheorized dierently i it is to become a valued part o the day-to-day lives o music teachers and students
