Abstract and Keywords
This article discusses the challenges of a research-based music education. Despite the need for new research-based approaches and teacher-student roles, this does not mean that all current research or praxis is useless or not valuable. The challenge for researchers, music teachers, and students of all kinds is to find new ways to integrate research, teaching, and learning practices.
Keywords: music education, research, teaching, learning
