Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the author(s)-constructed practice of
Musicking with a special emphasis on the embodiment of kyosei and reflective practice.
The study particularly focused on the related philosophies and theories to highlight
kyosei including Seisa philosophy by Yasuo Miyazawa and Schön's reflection-in-action
to answer the diversified needs of individual students. Followed by drawing the
author(s)-constructed practice model of musicking, the practitioner-researcher(s)
discussed and drew philosophical and theoretical connections. The study revealed the
authors' practices as a model of the embodiment of kyosei and reflective practitioner's
thinking. The authors reflected the series of Musicking practice to reveal how the
participants understood each other, and made friends without exclusion to build a
musical community. This study also illustrated a possibility to apply Musicking
practice in Japanese music education context especially in K-12 general music classes.
