Abstract

This Masters of Teaching Research Project is a qualitative study on the topic of

meaningful music integration across curriculum areas in urban schools. The purpose
of this project is to answer the question- How are a sample of elementary teachers
in Ontario urban schools integrating music as responsive pedagogy across
curriculum subject areas and what perceived impact on students academic
achievement have they observed? Data was collected through face-to-face
interviews with two exemplary teachers. The outcomes of this research can be used
to inform music policies and encourage teachers to integrate music across
curriculum areas to support with student academic achievement.
