Victoria Cecilie Jakhelln

Victoria Cecilie Jakhelln serves as Head of Department and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Music Theory, Composition and Music Technology at the Norwegian Academy of Music. Her position combines academic leadership with specialized teaching responsibilities focused on hearing training within the music theory professional environment.

Her research expertise spans Music Theory, Ear Training, Music Pedagogy, Choral Singing, Musicianship, and Music Education, with particular emphasis on practical skill development for musicians. She investigates the intersection of aural skills and instrumental performance, develops accessible training methods for choir singers, and creates hands-on approaches to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world musical application.

Analysis of her 2014-2022 publications reveals three dominant research trajectories: technological innovation in ear training (notably web-based tools), adaptation of pedagogical methods during the COVID-19 pandemic, and systematic preparation for higher music education entrance exams. Her work consistently centers on choral contexts while addressing broader challenges in music literacy and skill acquisition across diverse learner profiles.
