(Pedagogy) The intent of this course is to provide an opportunity for students to develop a greater understanding of the unique developmental issues of children with special needs and how these issues affect learning in arts classrooms including visual arts, music, drama, movement settings.

(Pedagogy) Everyone is welcome to explore their own singing as we study choral music and group singing in various ensemble settings. We will address healthy singing with an emphasis on the developing voice and the process of singing with vocal goals, creative repertoire choice and developmental musical goals, and a student-centered approach for rehearsals and planning with engagement goals.
(Pedagogy) Understanding the principles and practices of creating and teaching digitally with synthesizers, MIDI and computers, and emphasizing the application to music education, studios and K-12 classrooms.
(Pedagogy) This course will examine teaching and learning in the context of instrumental music. It will serve as an overview of theoretical and philosophical constructs of instrumental music pedagogy. The resulting practices inform our knowledge of teaching through the process of learning instruments in a small group setting. Focus will be on the years students typically begin the learning of wind, brass, and percussion instruments in schools, around the age of 10, through intermediate and advanced levels in middle and high school. Fundamental to our approach will be the development of lesson planning that puts the student at the center of her learning experiences. Not content with the traditional master/apprentice model, we will seek opportunities to improvise and create, allowing students even in the early stages to assume some degree of control over how they make music and what they choose to play. Questioning techniques in the instrumental lesson setting will encourage reflection on action that results in a broadening, not just of skills, but of the kind of reflective thought that is at the heart of educative experiences. Activities and projects in class will center around developing appropriately sequenced lesson plans, understanding the unique characteristics of instruments of various families, and put all class members in the dual role of teacher and student.
(Pedagogy) Focus on conducting strategies, rehearsal techniques, and performance programming for instrumental and choral groups encountered in K-12 schooling. Emphasis on preparation for musical teaching through score study, development of non-verbal communicative skills, and attention to group engagement. Final projects may focus either on band, orchestra, choral, or K-6 repertoire.
