Check out the resources below connected to my presentations at the 2026 Arizona Music Educators Association Conference:
Course on Learner-Centered Music Teaching
Every two years or so I teach a course on Learner-Centered and Project-Based Teaching available both in-person on campus and live online.
The MUE 598 Learner-Centered & Project-Based Teaching course is available for both graduate credit and (super affordable) Professional Development hours. People who take the class sometimes even continue working on their projects for PD hours as “Action Research” !
Get in contact with Evan to find out when the course is offered next.
