The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement or CAPS (which is the modified extension of the National Curriculum Statement policy), Music learning area, gives an option for Music learners to follow the Indigenous African Music (IAM) stream. This caters for them to be examined in African instruments. Currently, there are no available prescribed instrumental curricula in any IAM instrumental practices that learners can follow should they choose the IAM stream. Therefore, this research was prompted by the need for graded curriculum in IAM instruments for Music learners at the Further Education and Training (FET) level. This quantitative research focuses on the incorporation of contemporary African instrumental music practices in the modern Music curriculum as demanded by current trends, multiculturalism and multi‐ethnic societies with their emerging modern culture which to an extent nevertheless still embrace old traditions. The research is underpinned by the theoretical framework of multicultural music education. This study comprises two sections. Section one analyzes the dilemma that the South African Music curriculum faces when incorporating indigenous African instruments for examination at FET level and poses questions on how and which instrumental practices can be part of the possible solution. It revisits the epistemology of traditional African drumming and investigates how some of the traditional drumming practices have changed and are practised in the contemporary context. Section two introduces a contemporary African instrumental practice whose development is rooted in the generic traditional idioms of African drumming. This contemporary drumming style is not tied to a specific ethnic group but rather a creative continuum of African traditional drumming. This practice is explored as a potential instrumental option for the South African Music curriculum (IAM stream); through conducting of training workshops, progress survey and the evaluation of the implementation process of the pilot graded model curriculum. Lastly, pedagogical instructions on teaching, learning and evaluation of this contemporary drumming practice are provided. lk2014 Music DMus Unrestricted 2015-01-19T12:13:25Z 2015-01-19T12:13:25Z 2014/12/12 2013 Thesis Nkosi, A 2013, Modern African classical drumming : a potential instrumental option for South African school Music curriculum, DMus Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43292> D14/9/6 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43292 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
