緬懷Paul Lehman教授

賴美鈴教授

 

     音樂教育學者Paul R. Lehman教授，2024年3月24日於美國德州去世，享年92歲。Lehman教授可說是當代最具影響力的音樂教育學者，他是University of Michigan榮譽教授，曾任美國全國音樂教育協會（NAfME）的主席及主導協會各項工作，積極推動並改革美國K-12的音樂課程，建立音樂學習評量的策略等。Lehman教授是制訂美國藝術教育國家標準Natonal Standards for Arts Education（1994）的音樂課程主席，且自六O年代起就擔任NAEP音樂評量小組的重要成員。

 

     Lehman教授在學習評量和教師評鑑領域具備豐富學識和經驗，因此2013年4月10-13日在師大舉辦的「第四屆國際音樂教育評量研討會」（ISAME4）特別邀請他擔任大會開幕的主講，讓國內的教師和學生，有機會聆聽他的演說，目睹他的風采。當天講題How Are We Doing?，內容精闢的陳述評量的重要性，並以美國推動評量為例，分析各項方案的成敗因素，同時提供各國成功的案例供參考，讓與會者留下深刻印象。

 

     Lehman教授除了在美國各地演講，積極推動音樂教育政策外，他同時也關注國際音樂教育，曾任國際音樂教育學會（ISME）多項委員會之委員，並於2002年獲頒榮譽終身會員（Honorary Life Member）。Lehman教授可說是終身以音樂教育為志業，2022年11月3日當他擔任2022 NAfME全國性大會的主講時，雖是91歲的高齡，但仍保持一貫的信念，講題為Toward a Better Tomorrow!

典型在夙昔——憶Paul Lehman教授

陳曉雰主任

 

     美國音樂教育學者Paul Lehman教授（1931.4.20-2024.3.24）畢生實踐他對音樂教育的信念，透過諮詢、演說、著作與卓越的專業經歷，倡議音樂與藝術課程對每一個孩子的重要性與無可取代性，持續指出音樂教育的困境並提供改善策略，受人敬重，並享譽國際。

 

     Lehman教授與University of Michigan淵源深厚，於1959年、1962年先後在該校取得碩士、博士學位，曾受教於知名音樂教育家Allen Britton教授，之後於該校任職並獲頒榮譽教授。在NAfME名為MENC期間（1934-1998），Lehman教授身兼多項要職，因此有許多貢獻。The Goals and Objectives Project（1969-1970）即由Lehman教授主導，不僅延續The Tanglewood Symposium（1968）的理念，也提供MENC以及音樂教育者一個長期的音樂教學指導計畫。Lehman教授也是The Ann Arbor Symposium的主席（1978-1982），致力探討心理學於音樂教學的運用。

 

     2013年4月10-13日，ISAME4於國立臺灣師範大學舉辦，在大會主席之一Timothy Brophy教授的引介下，Lehman教授應邀擔任研討會開幕主講，臺灣音樂教育界有幸能親睹其風采。Lehman教授以How Are We Doing?為題，指出評量在理論與實務的挑戰，並勉勵音樂教育者對評量展現更多創意與領導力。為了研討會相關事宜，我曾數次寫信給Lehman教授並協助接待；大會期間宋曜廷副校長宴請研討會貴賓，談話間Lehman教授平易近人，令人如沐春風。在音樂教育長遠而深刻的軌跡中，Lehman教授是我們追懷的典範。

He served as president of the Music Educators National Conference (now the National Association for Music Education) from 1984 to 1986, which was a particularly challenging period for arts education because of the emphasis on ”back to basics” that resulted from the landmark report, ”A Nation at Risk”, published in 1983 by the National Commission on Excellence in Education.
