A Soprano On Her Head: Chapter 10
Emily Cottam
Chapter Summary: One teaching method that works for one student won’t necessarily work for all the others. Before taking in new learning theories/ideas, it’s important to be able to identify the way that you learn best yourself, so when you’re presented with new information, you’re able to filter out what could most benefit you and then experiment with them. As a teacher, it’s important to pay attention to whether or not your students are taking in/connecting with what you have to say--if not, try a different method until they do.
Key Concepts: Teachers learn just as much from their students as the students do from their teachers. Personal experimentation (trial/error) is the best way for one to discover what learning style best resonates with them.
Key Terms: process of discovery
Making Connections: When I’m in private lessons (whether it’s for piano or voice), I can utilize what I’ve learned in this chapter by making sure to inform the teacher of the times when I don’t quite understand a concept in the way that they’re teaching it. Also, when I’m in the practice room, I need to be able to identify which ways work best for me when it comes to learning music by experimenting with new techniques until I find the way that really works and is efficient for me.
