Jaron Putnam SOHH Ch. 6 Summary

Jaron Putnam SOHH Ch. 6 Summary

SOHH Chapter 6 Summary:

Summary: Every student is different. Each one struggles with different things in music. We are all just wired differently. This chapter focuses on the differences between the skills of Sight reading and memorizing. Some students naturally have a knack for sight reading, or for memorizing. What can we do to strengthen the weaknesses of our students? It takes a lot of experimenting. Everyone needs to break down barriers, but I am not sure what will work for different students. We need to have the awareness that they can succeed though. We need to realize that they will succeed. We just have to help them. Juggling was a focus of this chapter. This was able to help both sight readers, and memorizers. It helped their ability to recognize patterns or memorize key points that are extra difficult.

Key Concept: Some have natural tendencies towards memorization, others to sight reading. But We shouldn't be afraid of either of them. We shouldn't have a mental block in one area. We can overcome the block if we have it.

Key Terms: Juggling
Memorizing
Sight reading


Making Connections: This chapter helped me to realize that we need to think outside of the box if we want to be successful in helping a student overcome a particular challenge. It may even take something like juggling to help them.
