The lastest version of Edutopia focuses on best practices for Project Based Learning, highlighting a school that incorporates this approach to teaching and learning.
Project based learning is an approach that works naturally in music education settings and can assist music educators in providing students with deep and rich engagement and learning that can be applied beyond the school setting.
With the assistance of my students and local educators I keep an evolving curated list of resources for designing and facilitating projects in music ensembles and classrooms.

I’ve updated the portraits of practice site…it’s now available at
