Introduction
Prof. Fanny M. Y. Chung is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Management at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She obtained her doctoral degree from the University of Bristol, specializing in Creative Arts Programmes and Music Education. Her research encompasses the interlinked areas of performing arts and heritage management, music education, cultural and education policy, outreach in cultural institutions, early childhood studies, heritagization of Chinese traditional theatre, arts festival curation, and teacher development in the arts. Her books in Music and Creative Arts in Early Childhood published by Oxford University Press have been widely acclaimed.
Her forthcoming book, entitled Music and Play in Early Childhood Education: Teaching Music in Hong Kong, China and the World, provides critical insights into the interplay of rapidly changing sociology of music and educational practices by elucidating the trajectory of early childhood music education system, explicitly problematizing the theoretical foundations of policies such as play-based learning (PBL) and moral education in early childhood through music in Hong Kong, China and across the globe. Grounded from her extensive empirical-based research, the book makes a theoretical and practical contribution by offering a new conceptual model of music teacher education within a globally resonant framework. She is currently working on another book Transmission of Chinese Traditional Theatre amidst Crisis: Cantonese Opera and COVID-19 (a research output of the funded research project awarded by the Hong Kong SAR government) which critically examines the interconnection of public health crisis, heritagization and transmission of Cantonese opera, and the scholarly research presented in this book sheds light on the policymaking of Cantonese opera and arts professionals’ behavioral intentions in cultural and creative industry.
Prof. Chung’s other recent publications look at self-efficacy and social psychology in musical performances and education, cultural development related to Chinese theatre arts, and outreach and audience-building in performing arts institutions. One recent article “Translating Culture-Bound Elements: A Case Study of Traditional Chinese Theater in the Socio-Cultural Context of Hong Kong” examines the phenomenon of cultural heritage transmission through the lens of translation of Chinese theatre arts in the socio-cultural context of Hong Kong; another article “Developing Audiences Through Outreach and Education in the Major Performing Arts Institutions in Hong Kong: Towards a Conceptual Framework” uncovers the interplay of outreach and audience-building in non-profit performing arts institutions with the global cultural landscape. Another recent article “The Impact of Music Pedagogy Education on Early Childhood Teachers’ Self-Efficacy in Teaching Music: A Study of Music Teacher Education Program” investigates how the development of teacher self-efficacy as theorized by the social cognitive model co-relates with the framework of music teacher education for formal institutional settings, in light of the local, national and international cultural and education policy.
Currently, Prof. Chung is working on several research projects, including the project on investigating the implementation of education policy in music awarded by General Research Grant (GRF) of Research Grant Council (RGC), and the research project on examining the transmission of Cantonese opera amidst global health crisis awarded by the Lord Wilson Heritage Fund (LWHF) of the Hong Kong SAR government.
