Our goal is to illustrate what student  \ncentered pedagogies may look like in the music education classroom,  \nparticularly in the context of collaborative composition activities. The  \nsample case presented features a Primary 5 Singaporean music  \nteacher implementing a collaborative composition lesson on Gamelan  \nBeleganjur, a traditional music style from Bali (Indonesia). After  \ndescribing the structure of the lesson, we analyze data from teacher  \ninterviews, classroom interactions (illustrated with pictures), and  \ntranscriptions of students’ compositions. We argue that the content  \nand design of the lesson itself, as well as the teacher’s genuine  \ninterest in exploring students’ musical ideas and fostering  \ncollaboration and creativity, led to the enactment of student-centricity.  \nOur ultimate aim is to provide an additional resource that might  \ninspire music educators (both specialists and generalists) in  \nembracing student-centered education in their classrooms.  \nIntroduction  \nTowards Student-Centered Education: The Case of Music Education in Singapore  \nThe importance of offering new generations of learners a student-centered education has been one of the most commonly emphasized themes in educational reforms around the world (McKinsey & Company, 2007; OECD, 2014). After decades of rigid content-focused, teacherdirected didactic methods, teachers ofall education levels and subject matters have been encouraged to enact student-centered pedagogies in the classroom, placing the learner at the heart of teaching processes and orchestrating instruction around students’ ideas, interests, and needs. Underlying this international push towards student-centricity has been increased empirical evidence demonstrating its positive effects on a variety of outcomes. Indeed, compelling studies  \n1 Corresponding Author: Dr Alfredo Bautista. Assistant Dean, Professional Learning | Research Scientist & Lecturer.
