Title and subtitle: Feedback and instrument lesson – The usage of feedback in individual instrument lesson in a Swedish high school. Feedback is a well-researched subject in many academical areas such as psychology, pedagogy and music education. Generally it is perceived as information about performance. Depending on how it is given, feedback can create different types of behavior. The aim of this study is to analyze how feedback is used in individual violin, electronic bass, cello and percussion instrument lessons. The study is based on the qualitative research tradition. Accordingly, video observation and thematic analysis are used for gathering and analyzing the empirical data. The participants are four instrument teachers and their four high school students. The observations are made in two different occasions per each teacher and student at several different locations in a middle-sized Swedish city in November, 2017. The results are presented in two chapters; results and discussion. All instrument lessons have shown aspects of the use of effective feedback but in different ways. In other words, they present feedback about goals, current prestation and strategies. However, the type and the method used, for instance quantity, of feedback are different between these lessons. For example, the violin teacher uses praise more frequently and explicitly compared to the other teachers.
