  • The characterisation of a problematising and activist music pedagogy : Experiences in music teacher education from Chile
    Angel-Alvarado, Rolando; Masquiarán-Díaz, Nicolás; Silva-Ayarza, Macarena; Aróstegui, José Luis; López-Íñiguez, Guadalupe (Sage, 2026)
    Lehtiartikkeli
    Activism in music education involves supporting music teachers to become change agents, taking on the challenge of overcoming social oppression through the encouragement of humanising awareness. This study aimed to characterise the development of activism in student teachers who attend music teacher education programmes. Holistic Architecture for Music Education was applied, using an exploratory design through the implementation of reflective practice workshops in Chilean music teacher education programmes. The results showed that student teachers developed activism through the encouragement of human rights music education, which principally promotes practical knowledge, agency focused on social change, and participation in professional coalitions. In conclusion, student teachers became change agents, as they started to publicly question different aspects of music education and provide humanising suggestions for overcoming social oppression.
  • Acceptance and management of stage fright among musicians : a manual of practical strategies
    Bojner Horwitz, Eva; Valtasaari, Pauliina (Frontiers, 2025)
    Lehtiartikkeli
    It has been suggested that stage fright may be musicians’ greatest psychological stressor. This study aims to develop various mental and physical practices that form an easy-to-use “manual” for musicians with stage fright by using stick figures and concise, short, instructive texts. The recommended practices were developed based on discussions between expert researchers working with musicians’ stage fright. The manual was tested on a musician to manage unpleasant thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations caused by stage fright. Eighteen steps, rooted in self-awareness and mindfulness, gave the musician a tool to embrace stage fright as a steppingstone to greater self-expression and artistry. The manual with the 18 stick figures will be further evaluated and tested in a controlled bigger sample. The discussions revealed that by observing and accepting one’s feelings without judgment and catastrophizing, it is possible to learn to understand the needs of the body and to respond compassionately. A manual of 18 easy-to-use practical strategies could be one way to deal with stage fright.
  • Economic system justification predicts stigmatization of mental illness in the United States
    Valtonen, Jussi; Azevedo, Flávio; Jost, John T. (American Psychological Association, 2026)
    Lehtiartikkeli
    Mental illness stigma remains persistent despite prominent public campaigns to combat it. We propose that system justification theory, which posits that people are motivated to see current institutions and arrangements as fair and legitimate, can help explain the near-universal stigmatization of mental illness. To investigate system justification and mental illness stigma, we conducted three studies comprising survey and experimental methods (total N = 1,514). In two surveys, including a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults, the tendency to view the current economic system as fair and legitimate was the strongest and most consistent unique predictor of stigmatizing responses across a wide range of measures. In an experiment, we manipulated the economic positioning of vignette characters meeting the diagnostic criteria for depression and social phobia. Participants’ responses were more stigmatizing when the character’s position in the economic system was low (vs. high), operationalized in terms of income. The findings support previous suggestions that system-justifying beliefs are relevant for mental illness stigma and indicate that reactions to mental illness are usefully seen in light of attitudes toward the social and economic system.
  • Developing bi-musicality through immersion in J-pop : Composition and performing processes
    Toivonen, Aarne (Taideyliopiston Sibelius-Akatemia, 2025)
    Opinnäyte
    This Global Music master’s thesis explores bi-musicality, an ability to better understand and perform another musical style, through immersion in J-pop. Through this thesis I investigated the musical elements and culture behind J-pop hoping to raise awareness and appreciation of the genre, and to give musicians tools to develop bi-musicality with J-pop as an example. I studied the musical elements and the culture of J-pop using artistic research methods such as musical immersion, song analysis, academic texts as well as field trips. I compared J-pop songs to Western pop songs to see the differences between the two genres, and found out that J-pop can have complex musical elements from a Western musician’s point of view, such as jazz harmony and progressive arrangements. During my field trips to Japan I learned more about some of the cultural and societal aspects of Japanese culture and how they might affect the sound of the genre, such as the working culture, education system and history. It seems that J-pop is a combination of Japanese traditionalism mixed with the country’s vast influences from Western musical traditions that have become integrated in the unique culture of Japan. With the knowledge and experiences that I got from these processes I did experimentation with my own songwriting processes being influenced by J-pop. As a musician with a background in different kinds of musical genres and traditions, I feel that it is essential to understand or at least to appreciate and be aware of different musical cultures. In this thesis I argue that through bi-musicality we can not only break the language barrier in music, but to engage in musical practices with more people and create new kinds of exciting music in an ethical way.

  • Vaelluksella vanhan musiikin maailmassa
    Mattila, Anssi; Järviö, Päivi (toim.)
    Sibelius-Akatemian julkaisuja : 34 (Taideyliopiston Sibelius-Akatemia, 2026)
    Kirja
    Kapellimestari, pedagogi ja vanhan musiikin vaikuttaja Anssi Mattilan kokemus musiikin – erityisesti barokkimusiikin – tekemisestä on kypsynyt pitkän ja vaikuttavan uran kuluessa 1980-luvulta nykypäi-vään. Hän on johtanut kaikkia Suomen kaupunginorkestereita ja vienyt tyylitietoisen barokkimusiikin sanomaa kaikkialle kotimaahan ja lukuisiin muihin maihin, joissa on konsertoinut. Mattila on jatkuvasti kehittänyt ajatteluaan ja oppineisuuttaan myös tuottamalla kirjoituksia vanhasta musiikista ja sen ym-päriltä niin ohjelmakirjoihin, erilaisiin aikakausjulkaisuihin kuin puheohjelmiksi radioon. Kokoelmaan valituissa teksteissä Mattila käsittelee laaja-alaisesti kaikkea mahdollista alaansa liit-tyvää vanhan musiikin esittämisestä sekä musiikin maailmasta muinoin ja nyt. Hän antautuu analyytti-siin pohdintoihin soittimista, säveltäjistä ja teoksista. Rehevä ilmaisutyyli vaihtelee pakinasta matka-kertomuksen ja tutkimuksen kautta yleiseen taivasteluun. Kirjaa voi nimittää vaikkapa esseekokoel-maksi, jonka ydin on musiikin merkityksissä ja sen roolissa yhtenä elementtinä satojen vuosien mittai-sessa eurooppalaisen taide-elämän kehityksessä. Mestarillista alan tuntemusta ja taiteilijan uteliaisuutta pursuava teos on kirjoittajansa rakkauden-osoitus musiikin historialle. Se on kirjoitettu kiinnostuneelle konserttiyleisölle, musiikin kuuntelijoille ja oikeastaan kenelle tahansa kulttuurista kiinnostuneelle ihmiselle.
