SUMMARY:Resisting the Employability Agenda
DESCRIPTION:There is a tendency in popular music education (PME) to focus solely on training students for employment within the music industries. However\, how does this vocational focus negatively impact students? In this presentation\, I critically examine PME’s preoccupation with entrepreneurialism and highlight how we might resist this vocational trend.

SUMMARY:Pop Theory in Practice: Teaching the Building Blocks of Modern Hits
DESCRIPTION:Music theory was originally developed to describe and explain the Euroclassical repertoire. While its foundations remain essential\, relying on traditional theory alone to teach commercial songwriting and production is a bit like giving students an old map to navigate a city that has transformed. Drawing on systematic analysis of today’s chart-topping songs\, this session introduces frameworks that expand traditional theory to include the elements\, patterns\, and conventions that define today’s commercial music landscape.

SUMMARY:Voice Memo to Full Demo in Minutes
DESCRIPTION:❤️ Sponsor session by SUNO&nbsp\;\n\nEvery musician has had the experience: an idea arrives\, but by the time you get to an instrument or a DAW\, something is lost. Suno closes that gap.\n\nIn this session\, we'll walk through Suno's core workflows for educators and students\, from capturing a raw voice memo or hummed melody to generating a fully produced track with editable structure\, custom stems\, and stylistic control. Create backing tracks for student practice\, generate stems for arrangement work\, and transform an original song across multiple genres\, from a string quartet to an EDM remix\, in minutes. No prior AI experience required.\nYou'll leave with hands-on familiarity with Suno's Studio and Edit tools\, a set of classroom-ready activities you can use the following week\, and a framework for introducing AI music tools to students in a way that deepens their musical thinking rather than replacing it.\n\n

SUMMARY:Defanging the Canon Monster: Reducing the Friction of Building Quality Setlists
DESCRIPTION:The concept of a “canon” in popular music has often been framed as exclusionary\, privileging certain works while marginalizing others. Yet\, when reimagined not as a gatekeeping mechanism but as a curated resource\, canonization offers substantial pedagogical advantages. By establishing a structured catalog of exemplary songs\, educators and students gain a shared repository from which to draw\, streamlining the process of selecting high-quality and diverse repertoire. This curated approach reduces friction in assembling setlists for &nbsp\;performance\, rehearsal\, or even informal jam sessions\, allowing students to engage with influential works while maintaining flexibility and creativity. Importantly\, the transition from printed scores to digital platforms amplifies these benefits: catalogs can be expanded\, annotated\, and shared in real time\, supporting collaborative growth and responsive updates. Rather than confining musical exploration\, this post-print curation empowers learners to navigate a simulatneously curated and dynamic landscape of repertoire\, fostering both historical awareness and contemporary relevance. This presentation argues for a shift in perspective: canonization need not be a “monster” that restricts access\, but a practical tool that facilitates discovery\, skill-building\, and collective musical engagement in the modern classroom and online communities.

SUMMARY:Feed It Forward: Embedding Reflective Practice and Evaluation into Music Education Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Effective reflection and self-evaluation are critical to the development of autonomous\, resilient\, and progression-focused music learners. In this demonstration\, I will explore how embedding structured evaluation and target-setting into the assessment process can empower students to take ownership of their learning\, improve creative outcomes\, and&nbsp\;maintain&nbsp\;forward momentum across projects.&nbsp\;\nDrawing on learner work from UAL’s Music Performance & Production qualifications\, this session will&nbsp\;showcase&nbsp\;a practical approach to integrating ‘feedforward’ techniques into the learner journey. This model goes beyond conventional assessment by treating feedback not as a summative end point\, but as a catalyst for the next phase of learning. Students are supported to reflect critically on their outcomes\,&nbsp\;identify&nbsp\;areas for growth\, and set meaningful targets&nbsp\;-&nbsp\;looping feedback directly into the planning of future projects.&nbsp\;\nThe session will include examples of student reflections\, feedback templates\, and progression tracking tools used in a real-world Further Education context. I will also highlight how this approach enhances student motivation\, self-efficacy\, and creative agency&nbsp\;-&nbsp\;core values in popular music education.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Informally Educated vs. Formally Educated Musicians in Music Institutions: A Sense of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Students’ music education backgrounds shape belonging in higher education. Survey results show informal/non-formal learners feel more belonging than formally trained peers. Comfort with Western theory wasn’t a strong predictor\, though a negative trend emerged. Findings suggest Western theory requirements may undermine inclusion\, highlighting the need for curricula that value diverse musical literacies.
