How I Teach Music:
1️⃣ Widely
We spread a wide musical feast, because exposure to music is beneficial holistically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually, and even physically.
The Music Lessons We Include:
🎼 Hymn Study
🪕 Folk Songs
🎻 Composer Study
🩰 Ballet
🎵 Music Theory
🥁 Musical History & Survey
🎧 Contemporary Music Appreciation & Survey
🎤 We also included Solfa for many years.
We use a wide variety of resources.
2️⃣ Beyond Mason’s Table
We spread the dishes in a wide musical feast that Mason spread at hers, and I’m so grateful that she introduced me to these.
But, we also add dishes that Mason missed, such as Ballet, and we go beyond what she considered “Music Appreciation” and formalize Music History and Survey.
This is because I know the impact music has had upon culture and history, and I know that it is important to see it in its context, after building a foundation of enjoyment.
We also include Contemporary Music, because our age has much to offer and we won’t miss it.
3️⃣ Gently
My goal is exposure, appreciation, and contextual understanding.
💡 Here’s How That Looks:
*Weekly Lessons:
Composer
Folk Songs
Hymns
These are simple, rich, and pack a punch for such short lessons.
*Weekly Lessons Alternating Between:
Music History
Music Theory
These are gentle and layered.
*One Term:
Ballet & Contemporary - for this I simply replace another music lesson
