Abstract (Swedish)
Sedan 2017 har elever erbjudits att välja elektroniska digitala instrument (EDI) som huvudinstrument på ett antal gymnasieskolor i Sverige. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur elever som har EDI som huvudinstrument på gymnasiet reflekterar kring det egna instrumentet, sin musikaliska identitet samt övning och utbildning i förhållande till EDI. Då forskning om EDI i skrivande stund befinner sig i sin linda berör tidigare forskning och annan litteratur angränsande områden som musikproduktion, skolans teknologiska utveckling och övriga digitala instrument. Dessutom presenteras tidigare forskning inom EDI och övning. Studien inleddes med en kortare pilotenkät som lade grunden för den huvudsakliga gruppintervjustudien. Informanterna består av... (More)

Då forskning om EDI i skrivande stund befinner sig i sin linda berör tidigare forskning och annan litteratur angränsande områden som musikproduktion, skolans teknologiska utveckling och övriga digitala instrument. Dessutom presenteras tidigare forskning inom EDI och övning. Studien inleddes med en kortare pilotenkät som lade grunden för den huvudsakliga gruppintervjustudien. Informanterna består av sex elever från tre olika skolor och årskurser som alla har EDI som huvudinstrument. Studien har visat att elever med EDI som huvudinstrument jobbar mycket med personligt uttryck och musikaliskt identitetsskapande. Informanterna är nöjda med sin utbildning men studien framhåller att ensemblelärare saknar kunskap om digital teknik, vilket påverkar informanternas ensembleundervisning negativt. Vidare visar studien att informellt lärande och icke-spelande övning har en betydande roll för EDI:sters musikaliska utveckling. (Less)
Abstract
Since 2017, students in various high schools in Sweden have had the option to choose Electronic Digital Instrument (EDI) as their primary instrument. This study aims to explore how those students reflect on EDI in relation to their musical identities, practice and education. As research on EDI is in its infancy at the time of writing, this study also reviews related research areas such as music production, the technological development in schools, and other variants of electronical instruments, as well as earlier research on EDI and musical practice. The study was initiated with a pilot survey that informed the main study, which was conducted as semi-structured group interviews. The participants consist of six students from three different...

Since 2017, students in various high schools in Sweden have had the option to choose Electronic Digital Instrument (EDI) as their primary instrument.

As research on EDI is in its infancy at the time of writing, this study also reviews related research areas such as music production, the technological development in schools, and other variants of electronical instruments, as well as earlier research on EDI and musical practice. The study was initiated with a pilot survey that informed the main study, which was conducted as semi-structured group interviews. The participants consist of six students from three different high schools and grades, all of whom plays EDI as their primary instrument. The study has shown that students who play EDI have a strong sense of musical identity and expression. The participants are satisfied with their education, although the results indicate that some teachers lack knowledge of digital technology which negatively effects the students learning experience. Furthermore, the study highlights the significant role of informal learning and non-playing practice in the musical development of EDI musicians. (Less)
