Abstract

Experiences, Issues, and Challenges in Curriculum Implementation of a Music Training Institution in China. Objectives: The study described the curriculum of Music Training Institution in Beijing, China in terms of goals, objectives, learning outcomes, content, instructional, and strategies. Likewise, it identified the existing issues and concerns of the institution to propose a management improvement plan. Methods: Data were gathered by retrieving the documents of the institution and interviewing purposively selected music education teachers. Findings: Documentary and thematic analyses revealed that teachers use discovery, performance, passive, and differentiated approaches in teaching music. Conclusion: Individual differences, parental involvement, and interest of the students emerged as issues and challenges which led to the development of a proposed management improvement plan. Recommendations were provided to further improve the curriculum implementation of the institution.

Keywords: curriculum implementation, improvement plan, training institution, music education.
