A Model for Supporting Students’ Reflection in Tertiary Music Education

The aim of the study is to develop and validate a model for supporting music students’ reflection processes in the context of music instrument studies. The model identifies the processes of reflection and specifies, based on the challenges of each process, how to support reflection in this context. Expert validation of the model was carried out through focus group interviews with twelve instrument teachers in three different institutes in Estonia. Findings suggest that with minor modifications, the model, developed based on the findings of supporting reflection in various contexts of higher education, is suitable for implementing in music instrument studies.
