%0 Journal Article %T ¡°Give me actual music stuff!¡±: The nature of feedback in a collegiate songwriting class %A Stuart Chapman Hill %J Research Studies in Music Education %@ 1834-5530 %D 2019 %R 10.1177/1321103X19826385 %X This study aimed to understand the nature of feedback that students and teacher exchanged in a workshop-based collegiate songwriting course. Two research questions guided the study: (1) What kinds of feedback do students and teacher give as they respond to each other¡¯s work? and (2) What factors contribute to the culture of feedback in this class? Data sources included field notes from class observations, individual interviews with four informant students, a group interview, and a student-conducted interview of the investigator, who was also the instructor of the class. The analysis generated four themes that describe the feedback culture of this songwriting class: micro feedback, macro feedback, feedback roles, and overall feedback culture.
