Finding a Home, Creating a Place: Including and Empowering Students in the Music Classroom

11/18/2017

Virginia Music Educators Association, Hot Springs, Virginia.

What can happen when learners choose the musical materials and activities? What possibilities arise when learners are involved in planning? What do students learn from helping teachers plan what goes on in class? What do experiences/concerts look and feel like to learners, teachers, and parents when learner are involved in every step of the process? What roles exist for learners and teacher in these types of classrooms? In this session, we address these questions through presenting examples for actual classrooms and discussing pedagogy and pragmatics to foster student-centered and student-led classrooms.
In the session, Abbie VanKlompenberg will discuss what happened in her experiences in both a 6-8th grade choir as well as in K-5 general music classrooms and the challenges/rewards that she and her students experienced. Jesse Rathgeber discuss his work with elementary school students, in both general music and choral settings, to explore the pedagogy and pragmatics of fostering student-centered and student-led classrooms. Attendees and presenters will collaborate to consider multiple possibilities for helping learners create a place for themselves in the music classroom, and for making the music classroom a home for learners and teacher, alike.

​Virginia Music Educators Association, Hot Springs, Virginia.

What types of music learning and making can technology mediate? Come explore answers to this question in this interactive and discussion-based session. You will see example projects that use affordable technologies which encourage inclusive and interdisciplinary student thinking, learning, and making through the use of microcontrollers and coding. You will engage with student technology-based projects and have chances to look under-the-hood as you create your own technology-mediated products. We hope you will leave feeling capable of engaging playfully with students to create projects using technology. To help with this, we offer a wealth of resources including examples, tutorials, and adaptations.
