In the following video I describe some of the following themes, ideas, and issues that we are addressing during a Music Learning and Teaching course at Arizona State University for designing and facilitating secondary music programs:
- What we should know about students in order to support them
- Reality pedagogy (Emdin, 2016)
- Thinking about the relationship between planning and being flexible in the moment
- Learning goals and objectives (and who creates these goals and objectives)
- Self-reflection in relationship to what we read and watch
- Creating and making music with web-based music apps
- Creating music online in hybrid or online classes
Our main theme was to think through what we ought to know about students in order to best support them in secondary music programs.
This is the third recap and synthesis video of a Music Learning and Teaching course for designing and facilitating secondary music programs at Arizona State University. You can learn more about our Music Learning and Teaching Program at ASU here.
