While educators agree that traditional methods of teaching aural skills are ineffective and lack flexibility, relevancy, and creativity, the mode of instruction remains largely limited to repetition and drill in spite of signs that alternative approaches are necessary. Furthermore, empirical studies investigating the implementation and impact of alternative strategies remain lacking in the literature. This observational case study details the challenges faced during the integration of three alternative strategies rooted in constructivist principles - reflective writing, improvisation, and cooperative and peer learning---into a first-semester collegiate aural skills course, and aims to uncover their impact on student attitudes and experiences.

520 $a While educators agree that traditional methods of teaching aural skills are ineffective and lack flexibility, relevancy, and creativity, the mode of instruction remains largely limited to repetition and drill in spite of signs that alternative approaches are necessary. Furthermore, empirical studies investigating the implementation and impact of alternative strategies remain lacking in the literature. This observational case study details the challenges faced during the integration of three alternative strategies rooted in constructivist principles - reflective writing, improvisation, and cooperative and peer learning---into a first-semester collegiate aural skills course, and aims to uncover their impact on student attitudes and experiences.
520 $a Qualitative data collected throughout the term include field notes from participant observations, video-recordings of classes, semi-structured interviews, and online student journal posts. Quantifiable data from surveys and course evaluations were also gathered to triangulate data.
520 $a Results indicate that clearly structured and purposeful reflective writing assignments can help students initiate self-awareness and discovery, find increased relevance and meaning between course material and their musical goals, and are thus a worthwhile component to aural skills courses aimed at projecting a more constructivist approach. However, the perceived benefits and the extent to which journal entries exhibited meaningful levels of reflective practice varied, possibly due to insufficient preparation for self-reflection; the types of questions provided students to guide their journal posts; and varying levels of reflective ability.
520 $a Similarly, about half of the participants experienced improvisation as a process of discovery and as a means of actively synthesizing and applying new and prior knowledge and skills in a musical context---outcomes that resonate with constructivist principles. For others, factors such as time constraints, the classroom environment, cognitive overload, and anxiety may have impeded the potential benefits of improvisation.
520 $a Participants perceived cooperative and peer learning activities to be the most helpful, citing increased motivation and accountability; heightened self-awareness; opportunities for self-assessment; mutual affective support; social construction of meaning; and facilitation of problem-solving. Aspects to consider before implementing cooperative and peer learning in aural skills include outlining clear expectations and goals, group formation, and the structure of activities.
