This research aimed to explore how music education can serve as an agent of social development in Mamelodi, a community in South Africa. After the democratic elections in 1994, the concept of ‘Magnet’ schools was established by the Gauteng Department of Education in order to provide specialised skills such as music in disadvantaged communities. A qualitative intrinsic case study was followed to better understand how music learners experience music education as a whole and how they apply it to their lives. Six participants from the Mamelodi Magnet School were selected and interviewed to gain insight regarding how music education may contribute towards the personal and social development of music learners at the school. Additionally, weekly observations were made during individual instrumental music lessons and described in a reflection journal. Data analysis revealed that music education is a powerful catalyst in the lives of music students at the Magnet School, leading to extensive values and benefits to these individuals and the wider community. Three main themes emerged from data analysis, namely personal value and life skills development; social development and social capital; and transformation through music education. These themes are interrelated and link to several subthemes, such as the development self-esteem, motivation, responsibility, self-discipline, and time-management skills on a personal level. Themes related to enhanced social skills include friendships and social inclusion, learning new skills, networks and connections, reciprocity, and improved social norms and values. By providing a structured learning environment, the Magnet School offers learners the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, expand their knowledge of music, and to acquire life-skills. In doing so, these learners not only improve their education and possibilities for sustainable futures; they also gain important personal and social values that contribute towards their holistic education. By teaching more than music, the Magnet School can be the key to unfold a student’s life journey, filling it with creativity, dreams and hope. ae2025 Music MMus Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-08: Decent work and economic growth SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2018-07-16T07:53:52Z 2018-07-16T07:53:52Z 2018/04/23 2017 Dissertation Roué, NY 2017, Exploring music education as an agent of social development and change in Mamelodi a community in South Africa / Two examination concerts, MMus Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/65600> A2018 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/65600 en © 2018 University of Pretoria.
