Sarah Boucher ER Chapter 10 Summary
Chapter Summary: There is no one method for learning and teaching music. There are not set rules or guidelines to follow on the right way to teach. Depending on a students needs, learning style or interests the so called "rules" change.
Key Points:
-Self discovery is important in learning.
-We all need to establish our own learning truths.
-"You learn how to teach by learning how to learn." (pg.134)
Key Terms:
Making Connections: Before taking this class I would often deceive myself into "Once I take pedagogy I will know how to be a good teacher." While this is true, I never realized how much my own study and the search to find my own "truths" is going to apply to my teaching! I realized that throughout my years here I have been gathering truths and many things that will help my students. (I am kicking myself for not paying more attention all along) I have made it my goal this year to come to know my learning style better so that I in turn know how to be a better teacher.
