The HAME’ structural design poses a preliminary study of phenomena, the formulation of a research hypothesis, fieldwork in real-world situations and, finally, an analysis of data collected during the fieldwork with the intention of contrasting the hypothesis. This study aims to explore the technical suitability of the HAME in music education’s empirical research. Results demonstrate consistency between four phases of the structural design, in addition to prove the empirical complexity of organisational structures in music classrooms. In conclusion, the HAME is understood as an interdisciplinary educational research approach, which is holistically described as it connects theoretical currents of the social sciences and humanities with actual educational situations of music education. As a consequence, the HAME provides theoretical and practical knowledge about music education.7 p.application/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons License CC BY-NC-ND 4.0Empirical researchMusic educationOrganisational structureEducational interaction processClassroom environmentTeacher behaviourinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
