Student Choirs and Virtual Social Practices by LivePBL: Linking Vocal Education with Project Based Learning

Abstract

The focus of this research is to find out, how teaching and learning choir can develop all-round skills for students.LivePBL stands for Linking Vocal Education with Project Based Learning.Based on cases at Capital Normal University in Beijing, China, this paper reports the research in progress by applying LivePBL framework to enable undergraduates to explore choirs in training music teacher students.The paper argues that a good range of research can be seen by demonstrating choir activities that can develop "all-round" skills for the choir activity participants and music performers; however, there does not seem to be much addressing training students in social practices, who study music education as a major in a higher education institution and need to develop their social skills.Conceptual framework and case studies are presented in respect of teaching and learning vocal knowledge and performance art techniques, and more critically, the life skill developments at various levels, e.g., in selfesteem, self-confidence, reflective communication, self-efficacy, collective leadership, and consultative coordination.
