Abstrakt                                                                                              Syftet med undersökningen var att belysa och jämföra förändringar som sker i den kommunala musikskoleverksamheten när den utsätts för konkurrens och finansiering via checksystem. Undersökningen begränsades till Nacka och Österåker, de kommuner där systemet använts längst. Genom intervjuer av kommuntjänstemän och musikskoleledare samt i en enkätstudie hos musikpedagogerna undersöktes vilka faktorer som lett till förändringar i verksamheten och hur dessa upplevdes, samt hur de olika parterna såg på den framtida kommunala musikskolan. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att det var checksystemets utformning och kommunens styrning som bidrog till förändringar i verksamheten. Nacka kommun och Österåkers kommun hade utformat olika checksystem som gav skilda konsekvenser för verksamheterna. Österåkers system var generösare för kunden än Nackas system. Samtidigt valde Österåkers kommun att i större utsträckning styra musikskoleverksamheten i strävan efter en form av rättvisa mellan de olika aktörerna. Det informanterna upplevde som positivt med konkurrensutsättningen var att kunderna inte behövde stå i kö till verksamheten, men konsekvensen av att kön var borta var att många lärare fått svårare att fylla sina tjänster. Den ständiga elevrekryteringsprocessen och känslan av att ha eget ansvar att fylla sin tjänst skapade stress hos lärarna. På en konkurrensutsatt marknad ökar behovet av marknadsföring och vi såg en risk att instrument- och genrebredd minskar om kunden inte får tillräcklig information om den kommunala musikskolans utbud. Lärarna och tre av våra fyra informanter önskade att den kommunala musikskolan i framtiden ska ha ett uppdrag att bevara mångfald och bredd gällande genrer och instrument. / Abstract                                                                                                The purpose of the study was to illustrate and compare the changes taking place in municipal music school activities when these were exposed to competition and financing via voucher systems. The investigation was limeted to Nacka and Österåker, the municipalities where the system has been used the longest. We examined, through interviews with city officials and music school managers – plus a questionnaire study among music masters – the factors that had led to changes in the activities and how people reacted to these changes, as well as how the various parties appraised the future of the music school. The results of the survey showed that the changes in the activities were due to the design of the voucher system and the municipality's control. Nacka and Österåker had created different voucher systems that led to different consequences for the activities. Österåker’s system was more generous to the customer than the Nacka system. Meanwhile Österåker chose to a greater extent to control the activities of the music school in order to achieve a certain degree of fairness between the parties. A positive result of the opening to competition was, according to the informants, that customers did not have to queue up for activities. On the other hand, the consequence of no queuing was that it has become harder for many teachers fill up their posts with pupils. The continuous process of recruiting new pupils and the feeling of responsibility for filling up their own posts caused stress among the teachers. On a competitive market, the need for marketing is increasing and we saw a risk that the breadth of musical instruments and genres will decrease if the customer does not receive sufficient information about the offerings of the local music school. The teachers and three out of four informants wished for the future that the local music school should have the mission to preserve the diversity and breadth regarding genres and musical instruments.

Göranzon, Ingrid: From concept to reality - Uppsala Municipal School of Music. Master thesis, 30 credits. Uppsala: Department of Musicology. 2013. This thesis aims to explain how and why the municipal school of music (kommunala musikskolan) in Uppsala was formed. Municipal schools of music are a Swedish phenomenon that was formed all over Sweden after the Second World War. Each school is individual since they are entirely controlled at a municipal level. Although several factors have been identified as reasons for the creation of municipal schools of music, research in the area is limited. The material forming the basis of the survey is municipal documents from Uppsala city archives. The method that has been chosen to analyze the material is critical ideology analysis. This means that the content of the documents is analyzed in relation to its context, to clarify both the manifest and latent ideologies. The study shows that the formation of a municipal school of music in Uppsala was part of a larger movement, both nationally and locally. Sweden went through great changes during the period after the Second World War, politically, socially and culturally. The development of municipal schools of music was influenced mainly by the ideas about education and culture. The guiding idea was that all citizens should have equal access and opportunity. Technological advances such as radio and gramophone had made high culture more accessible, but it also contributed to the spread of what was considered inferior culture. Studies of the time showed that the solution was to give people the knowledge needed to make the right choice. The municipal school of music in Uppsala was created with the aim of forming a culturally educated public. Key words: municipal school of music (kommunal musikskola), Uppsala, public education (folkbildning), cultural politics (kulturpolitik), critical ideology analysis, post World War II / <p>ISBN UU-MSU-SER-60-E</p>

In meinem Beitrag möchte ich die charakteristischen Züge des musikalischen Schuldramas und seinen Rang in der Geschichte des Theaters in Mähren erwähnen. Wenn sich auch diesem Bereich eine ganze Reihe von Forschern widmete, so bleiben hier immer wieder weiße Stellen, weil manche der Notenmaterialien unwiederbringlich verloren gingen.

Syftet med studien är att i relation till musik- och kulturskolornas verksamhetsidéer/planer få insikt i elbaslärares förhållningssätt till vad som är viktigt för nybörjarelever att lära sig. Utifrån detta syfte är avsikten att försöka förstå vilka lektionsmoment elbaslärare prioriterar i sin undervisning av nybörjarelever, varför de valt att fokusera på just dessa och deras syn på eventuella styrdokument för respektive arbetsplats. Jag har i min undersökning genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra elbaslärare från olika musik- och kulturskolor. Arbetets har sin utgångspunkt i historiska perspektiv på musikkulturskolornas framväxt och de pedagogiska traditioner som format dem samt det sociokulturella perspektivet på lärande.   I resultatet framkommer att det viktigaste för informanterna är att eleven får komma igång och spela så snabbt som möjligt och att den huvudsakliga drivkraften i nybörjarundervisning för elbaselever är lust, glädje och upplevelser – vilket går helt i linje med mycket av de tendenser som behandlas i forskning rörande musik- och kulturskolan samt dess verksamhetsplaner under senare år.   Under diskussionsrubriken diskuteras informanternas syn på vad de tycker är viktigt för nybörjarelever att lära sig i relation till de traditioner, idéer och värderingar som enligt det sociokulturella perspektivet styr hur undervisningen formas. Utöver detta diskuteras musiklärarnas förhållningssätt till rådande styrdokument och deras respektive arbetsplats verksamhetsplan. / The purpose of this study is, in relation to the activity ideas/plans of community schools of music and art, to gain insight into the electric bass teachers approach to what is important for beginners to learn. From this view, the intention is to try to understand which lesson content is prioritized in the teaching of beginners, why they chose to focus on these and their views on possible regulatory documents for each workplace. In my survey I have conducted qualitative interviews with four bass guitar teachers from various community schools of music and art. Work is based on theories of the emergence of community schools of music, the educational traditions that shaped them and the sociocultural perspective on learning.   The results show that the main driving force of beginners teaching for bass guitar students is desire, joy and experiences – which is in line with much of the trends covered in research on community schools of music and art and their activity plans in recent years.   In the discussion section the views on what informants thinks is important for beginners to learn is discussed in relation to the traditions, ideas and values according to previous research which determines how the lessons are shaped. In addition to this the music teacher's attitudes and relations to current regulatory documents at their respective workplace is discussed.

Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka musiklärares syn på arbete för inkludering och ökad mångfald i kulturskolan. Studiens forskningsfråga handlar om hur musiklärare konstruerar och legitimerar sin syn på arbete för inkludering och ökad mångfald i kulturskolan. För att undersöka detta har tre fokusgruppsintervjuer genomförts på tre olika kulturskolor. Studiens teoretiska ramverk består av diskursteori och den data som genererats ur fokusgruppintervjuerna har bearbetats och analyserats med hjälp av diskursanalytiska redskap. I resultatet presenteras sex diskurser utifrån lärarnas konstruktioner om synsätt på arbete för inkludering och ökad mångfald i kulturskolan. Dessa handlar om att arbetet för inkludering och ökad mångfald ses som givet, som motsägelsefullt, som socialt utvecklande, som extern verksamhet, som svårt och som gemensamt ansvar. Resultatet presenterar även föräldrar och skola som två kontextuella påverkansfaktorer som på olika sätt påverkar diskurserna. I diskussionen behandlas två mer övergripande motstridiga diskurser om arbete för inkludering och ökad mångfald som självklart respektive icke självklart, i relation till tidigare presenterad litteratur. / The purpose of this study is to examine music teachers’ views on the work for inclusion and increased diversity in Swedish Community School of Music. The study’s research question concern how music teachers’ construct and legitimate their views on the work for inclusion and increased diversity in Swedish Community School of Music. To examine this three focus group interviews were held at three different schools. The theoretical framework of the study is discourse theory and the data generated from the focus group interviews has been processed and analyzed with discourse analytical tools. In the result the six discourses found are presented based on the teachers’ constructions about the work for inclusion and increased diver- sity in Swedish Community School of Music. These discourses is about how the work for inclusion and increased diversity is seen as given, as contradictive, as social developing, as ex- ternal activity, as difficult and as mutual responsibility. The result also shows parents and school as two contextual factors which affects the discourses in different ways. In the discussion two more general contrarious discourses, about the work for inclusion and increased diversity as obvious and non-obvious, are discussed in relation to previous presented literature.
