Making Music: Composing with Young Musicians was a multi-year, multi-site research project partnered with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and the Canadian Music Centre to commission composers to collaborate with teachers and students to write educational music. On-site observations undertaken by the co-author and examined through a pragmatic lens employing Brief Focused Inquiry focused on the contributions of students, teachers and composers to the collaborative music compositions. Students contributed their creativity and knowledge of musical elements and concepts, and they provided feedback to the teachers and composers. Teachers contributed technical, instrumental feedback to the composers and their understanding of musical elements and concepts. Furthermore, they led band rehearsals and played musical instruments with the students. Composers contributed their musical creativity and feedback while undertaking a teacher-like role. The composers, teachers and students also used technology during this creative endeavor. The findings will be of potential interest to post-secondary music educators, composers, music teachers, and music publishers.

制作音乐：作曲青年音乐家是一个多年、多地点的研究项目，与渥太华卡尔顿区教育局和加拿大音乐中心合作，委托作曲家与教师和学生合作创作教育音乐。由合著者进行的现场观察，并通过实用的镜头进行检查，采用简要聚焦调查，重点关注学生、教师和作曲家对合作音乐作品的贡献。学生们贡献了他们对音乐元素和概念的创造力和知识，并向老师和作曲家提供了反馈。教师为作曲家提供技术、乐器反馈以及他们对音乐元素和概念的理解。此外，他们带领乐队排练并与学生一起演奏乐器。作曲家在扮演教师角色的同时贡献了他们的音乐创造力和反馈。作曲家、教师和学生在这一创造性努力中也使用了技术。这些发现将引起大专音乐教育者、作曲家、音乐教师和音乐出版商的潜在兴趣。
