Music teacher education for the future: Reflections on change.

• This article conceptualizes and discusses change in music teacher education. Results from the FUTURED research project provide the starting point for the article. The project ex- plored various dimensions of change within the music education programs in Norwegian generalist teacher education. In this project, change was regarded as having a transform- ative capacity closely related to co-construction and complexity. Telling new stories about education, and thereby imagining different educational realities, may be seen as a possible trigger for change. In this article, therefore, the authors contrast the current situation against an imagined reality to create a heuristic framework for a critical discussion of change. Based on a meta-analysis of research findings, the authors propose a vision for a future music teacher education, which they then use to highlight and discuss several in- tersecting dimensions of educational change: values and traditions, demographics, educa- tional practices, curricula, and society.
