The pervasiveness of popular music and its associated practices in current youth cultures brings into question the relevance and effectiveness of more traditional music pedagogies, and propels a search for a more current and engaging music pedagogy informed by popular music practices. With this as the basis, this study seeks to explore factors that may enable the success and effectiveness of popular music programmes in public schools through the lenses of three Singapore secondary school teachers as they conducted their popular music lessons over seven to ten weeks. In the process, the study also describes how these teachers pragmatically negotiated the execution of these programmes within Singapore's unique educational context. The findings may serve to inform music teachers and school leaders keen to establish similar programmes as a matter of on-going dialogue.

在中学课堂上启用流行音乐教学——新加坡教师的观点

流行音乐及其相关实践在当前青年文化中的普遍性使人们对更传统的音乐教学法的相关性和有效性提出了质疑，并促使人们寻找一种以流行音乐实践为基础的更现代、更有吸引力的音乐教学法。以此为基础，本研究试图通过三位新加坡中学教师在七到十周的时间里进行流行音乐课程，探索可能使公立学校流行音乐课程成功和有效的因素。在此过程中，该研究还描述了这些教师如何在新加坡独特的教育环境中务实地协商这些课程的执行。
