(2004) In Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education p.83-90- Abstract

One way of combining the advantages of qualitative studies with the aim of acquiring general theories Of music education might be to develop methods of re-analyzing primary studies on a secondary, meta level.

From a starting point in literature on meta-analysis, a method of qualitative re-analysis of the results of qualitative studies in music education is presented. The result indicates that the basic qualities and essential elements in musical creativity and composition are very similar for all participants from early childhood through adolescence and up to adulthood, inside as well as outside of institutional settings such as schools. In conclusion, the method of analysis and its implications for further research in music education is discussed as one way ahead in establishing music education theories. (Less)
