Welcome to Fall 2021 Teaching and Learning (Or as it is known in my impossible mind: Intro)
Welcome! This course will provide you with an introduction to key selected questions and issues in teaching and learning music through theory and practice. The aim is to provide a stimulating and challenging environment in which you are encouraged to think about the nature and role of teaching and learning music in schools and society at large. Thoughtful music teachers in any context are reflective practitioners. That is, they are continuously learning from their experiences because they have developed a disposition toward ongoing inquiry and reflection. Reflection is often defined as meditation, thoughtfulness, or careful consideration of some subject matter, idea or purpose. It involves a critical examination of one’s experiences in order to derive new levels of understanding and determine possible courses of action.
