| Abstract: | This article proposes collective free music improvisation (CFMI) pedagogical strategies that support the development of twenty-first-century competencies (21CCs) among young, diverse learners. It highlights the educational benefits of integrating CFMI into music learning and outlines three key pedagogical dimensions that facilitate CFMI: socio-musical interaction, personal musical vocabulary, and shared understanding. Drawing on authentic classroom examples, the article illustrates how these dimensions can be developed to meaningfully engage learners in CFMI and foster core 21CCs—particularly communication, collaboration, and inventive thinking. These insights offer practical guidance for educators aiming to implement CFMI with similarly profiled student populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
