Summary: | The way that inner city learners and their educators experience life varies to a great extent. A music programme relevant to the needs of learners can create better understanding between these groups. The success of such a programme depends on an effective teaching-learning approach. The action learning approach, developed by Reginald Revans and adapted for music by Thomas A. Regelski, was implemented in a once-off rap programme at an inner city school in Gauteng. The aim of the programme was the acquisition of practical musical skills by learners through participation in a real-life musical event. The programme was offered on the basis of six specific action learning principles. The action learning approaches of Revans and Regelski were adapted to suit local goals and circumstances. === Thesis (MMus (Musicology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.
