Dr Tang Pan Hang

Lecturer I

Dr. Tang, Pan Hang is currently a Lecturer I in the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts at The Education University of Hong Kong. Dr. Tang obtained his Ph.D. degree from Deakin University, where he explored how technology can assist in developing children’s musical creativity.

Dr. Tang has extensive experience teaching at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. He has developed and taught various music curricula for different institutions, including the Tuen Mun District Secondary Schools DSE Music Scheme, an Arts co-curricular workshop at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, a summer gifted program on musical creativity at the University of Hong Kong, and the Centralized Scheme of Music Training for Senior Secondary Students organized by the Education Bureau.

Aside from his teaching roles, Dr. Tang is also an active composer. He initiated the Hong Kong Composers’ Guide to run a 3-year project, the School Concert Series. His compositions have been commissioned and published by the Sacred Music Commission of the Hong Kong Catholic Diocese, such as La Messa Cinese, performed by the Diocesan Choir in 2014.

Dr. Tang’s research focuses on the flexible-learning approach, policy and curriculum design, and Catholic religious music. He has presented his research findings at various conferences, such as the International Society for Music Education World Conference and the Asia-Pacific Symposium for Music Education Research.

Dr. Tang is a Commissioner for the ISME Policy Commission, a Committee on Music Curriculum Development Council member, and a Secondary Music Textbook Review Panel member for the Education Bureau, HKSAR. He also serves as an examiner for IB Music and a composer for the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong. Additionally, Dr. Tang has served as a Curriculum Supervisor for YCH Tung Chi Ying Memorial Secondary School and as a School Manager for Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Primary School.

Dr. Tang’s current research project includes investigating the effectiveness of the flexible-learning approach in cultivating students’ interests in learning music history. He has also been involved in several research projects, including a long-term collaboration with researchers from Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan, which aims to compare education policies in each region. Dr. Tang’s passion and dedication to music education and extensive experience in teaching, research, and composition make him an invaluable asset to the field.
