About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Music education in developing countries faces significant challenges in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for teachers and pre-service students. Lacking sustainable engagement with schools. Lacking sustainable engagement with higher education that trains pre-service teachers under-/post-graduate students.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

LivePBL stands out as a highly interactive educational model, is effective and scalable to bridging the gap between theory and practice across various educational levels—from early education to higher education, including vocational, high school and early year settings. By engaging students in music-based projects, LivePBL offers a unique approach to learning that emphasises real-world applications and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

In practice, LivePBL integrates diverse educational tiers. For instance, teacher students, those preparing to enter the educational field, have the opportunity to observe and participate in social teaching practices through music project-based learning. This arrangement provides them with a practical framework to witness and engage with teaching strategies across different educational stages. They observe how music can be used as a powerful tool for learning and engagement in early education, where foundational skills are nurtured.

How has it been spreading?

LivePBL has been spreading through academic publications, international workshops, and active research and development involving a network of universities, colleges, schools, and children’s clubs. This educational model gains further exposure and credibility by being featured in scholarly articles and at global conferences, allowing for the sharing of best practices and innovations. Additionally, word of mouth in communities has played a crucial role in its organic growth. Success stories and positive outcomes from students spreading the word about the benefits and impact of LivePBL. This grassroots level promotion enhances community buy-in and engagement.

LivePBL is now seeking international partners to expand its impact, integrate diverse educational practices, and enhance global reach.
