Research

In recent years, my research has focused on entrance examinations for higher music education, music literacy pedagogy, the development of innovative teaching and learning methods, as well as the critical integration of digital tools in music education.

Additionally, I have served as the editor for the anthology MusEd – Student-Driven Learning and the Music Academy of Tromsø’s R&D magazine Podium.

Current project

Entrance Exams in Aural Training and Music Theory for Higher Music Education

I am leading the national research and development project Entrance Exams in Ear Training and Music Theory for Higher Music Education—a comprehensive initiative divided into five phases. Funded by FUM (Fagorgan for skapende og utøvende musikkutdanning), the project is carried out by a dedicated team of aural training and music theory educators from a selection of Norwegian music education institutions.

The primary goal of the project is to deepen our understanding of various aspects of entrance examinations and their broader contexts, while also developing new, standardized national entrance exams. Currently in its fourth phase, the project has entered the exciting stage of designing these new exams.
