Abstract
Students of piano and saxophone were asked to explore what peer learning meant to them. Following instrumental-based discussions, and with no intervention from faculty, the students developed a series of videos intended for use with incoming students. This article analyses the students’ discussions and videos, and describes the complexity of students learning from each other in informal peers contexts. Instrumental culture appears to impact on the forms and priorities for peer learning.
