THE PROBLEM
Introduction
Can you imagine life without music? What would it be if there are no melodies? No
lullabies? No lively pop songs? No romantic serenades for our love ones? You surely would
agree that life could be so dull. Music has always been around us. When travelling, doing
household chores, for entertainment, and etc. we need music to enjoy our daily activities. At an
early age, some are trying to make music for the community. Young artist need guidance and
consultation to professionals to produce good music, however, some lack of guidance and
teaching. As Arts and Design student, which music is a major subject, we want to conduct this
phenomenological study to access the need and to know how good music educators affect the
learning of a music student.
For the purposes of this study is to know what hinders young artist to develop his or her
passion in music, how collaborative experience in music helps one grow as an artist, and what
others fields in music could one possibly learn.
Researchers also found that informal learner exhibit diverse approaches to learning about
music when using their choices of music technology outside of school (Crow, 2006; Dunbar
Hall, 2000; Folkestad, 2006, Kratus, 2007; Tobias, 2010 as cited in Hawkins, 2022) Music
teaching and learning ought to develop and integrate the types of skills, knowledge and musical
thinking in our classrooms and ensembles that relate to the landscape of contemporary music
(Tobias, 2010). Skills in music may be also developed not just in school environment, but also
outside which one could meet some aspiring music artists.
With factors that affect one’s musical artistic side, collaborative experiences help one
grow to make better music. Educators that would nurture a young artist for better music
production. Does lack of guidance to students in the field of music hinder them to showcase their
talent? What are the advantages of having a music mentor? What other fields in music could one
possibly learn from? These questions are what we want to know in our study.
A school is a place for learning which is why we make effort in travelling just to attend
classes. However, not everyone is giving appreciation to each one’s effort. Due to some hectic
schedule, mentors may not monitor their students and eventually do not make classes. It is some
sad reality that needs to be addressed. One solution may be to have more mentors to
accommodate the need of the learners. Organizing of schedule, good communication, and
knowing the limitations could help for productive experience.
This study would access and evaluate the need of mentors in music art industry, the
collaborative experience a student would experience when enrolled in Arts and Design Track in
Senior High, and what lived experiences students in Arts and Design could testify in their music
major.
This study would explore the collaborative experience of Arts and Design students with
The study focuses on the lived experience of Music Teachers, Grade 11 and 12 Arts and
Design, some Alumni of Arts and Design. Interviews may take place within the Main Campus of
Liceo de Cagayan and the RNP Campus of Liceo de Cagayan. Collaborative experience of the
participant is our focus.
