Responsive listening, deep listening, and creative music listening definitions will be explored, along with rationales for using multisensory pedagogical tools that have the potential to increase listeners’ awareness of their perceptual and affective responses to music. The sonic events of music, pedagogical strategies for facilitating music listening, and individuals’ personal attributes are the primary materials with which students and teachers might co-create—craft—deep access into music. Pedagogical craft involves the development and use of observational tools with which teachers learn from students about their prior music listening experiences and with which they subsequently scaffold students’ new music listening experiences. If we understand how, why, and what students are listening to outside of school, then perhaps music teachers can come closer to crafting pedagogical strategies for enhancing music listening skill development in schools. With the assistance of skilled and insightful instructional materials and strategies, then, students can develop their own music listening craft.

In so doing, music teacher educators should consider: (a) how they can prepare all music majors to engage with community adults through music; (b) how they can better prepare teachers to teach people of all ages in a diverse array of settings in and beyond schools; (c) how they might infuse a lifespan perspective in existing music education courses, from introduction to music education to methods and graduate courses in philosophy; (d) how community music can become a specialized track in music education, at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels; and (e) how they may incorporate additional resources (e.g., personnel, materials, field experience locations) to realize the aforementioned possibilities.

University-level education students in the United States America (USA), Spain and Australia were all asked interview questions based on general themes relevant to teacher identity development, and their responses were subjected to content analysis. Similarities were found in their perceptions of the role of ‘music teacher’ and their pre-university experiences/influences. Across the sites it seems that there was a dynamic and shifting relationship between PSMTs’ understandings of themselves as ‘musicians’ or as ‘teachers’ during their university years. This study confirms previous research in the area and contributes to the field in its discovery that these themes are found across three international sites. Implications of the findings are discussed and recommendations made for future research and practice.
