Teaching oboe in different ways

Abstract

In this thesis Teaching oboe in different ways I use the ideas by John Biggs and Catherine Tang from their book “Teaching for a Quality Learning at University”. These ideas talk about how teachers teach their subjects and how the students learn them. They talk about the three levels of teaching that I use to teach oboe. For this research I gave lessons to bachelor students or students that want to get a place studying music in higher education. Thanks to these lessons, I got many results which were very useful to understand better how students learn and what my own ideas about education are. Many times students have teachers who are playing in orchestras, but it is not so frequently that these teachers study pedagogy to make this kind of research about how to teach. This is the reason why I write about this topic: to improve myself as a teacher.
