Designing Reamer's Experience-Centered Music Education Using Short-Form Content

This study analyzed classes utilizing short-form music content based on Reimer's experience-centered music, which broadly acknowledges “musical experience.” The Delphi method was used, and 18 music education majors were surveyed. The results identified six characteristics of experience-centered music education using short-form content-participation, musicality, practicality, creativity, sharing, and learnability-and 18 strategies for applying Reimer's experience-centered education to short-form content. Therefore, a music education lesson plan utilizing short-form content was developed based on the characteristics and methods of utilizing experience-centered music education. Reimer's experience-centered music instruction required practical musical experience rather than the acquisition of in-depth musical knowledge. Furthermore, it emphasized the need for experience-centered music instruction that enhances accessibility for students with limited musical familiarity. Consequently, short-form content is an effective medium for adapting Reimer's experience-centered music education to the modern digital environment. The short, intense experiences of short-form content can be viewed as a tool for quickly recording, sharing, and expanding students' actual musical experiences. The strategy of utilizing short-form content in education has been most effective in stimulating interest, enhancing student engagement, and serving as a supplementary and facilitative tool for review and ongoing learning. Therefore, Rimmer's experience-centered music education design, utilizing short-form content, aims to move beyond simply listening to music and provide students with the motivation and momentum to discover, share, express their feelings, and discover their own music through short-form content. Specifically, it aims to foster immersion in indiscriminate short-form content within music classes.
