Ogechukwu Jacinta Onyedum, Young-Sook Onyiuke (PhD)

Abstract


Music education is the process in which one becomes aware of and sensitive to music and develops an understanding of its function for the good of the society. An educational institution performs a significant function of providing a learning experience to lead its students from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. The key personnel in the institutions who play an important role to bring about this transformation are teachers. A music teacher is like other teachers in the school but with a difference due to the unique nature of his/her discipline. In the teaching and learning process, the teacher is the source of knowledge to the students. Therefore, this paper adopted an empirical research methodology to ascertain the effect of part-time music teachers on music education and examined the role of part-time teaching in music education.

 

Keywords: Music education, Music teacher, Effect of Part-time teaching and Learning experience of students.
