Download or read book Becoming a Music Teacher written by Donald L. Hamann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New music teachers often struggle to find a way to connect the content learned in college classes with the content that will be taught in the classroom, since the nature of their work demands a high level of both musical and educational ability, while also the skills to switch from tuning an orchestra to leading a marching band or practicing voice parts with a chorus. Becoming a Music Teacher: Student to Practitioner focuses on making the connections between the college music classroom and public school music classroom transparent, visible, and relevant. Award-winning music educators Donald L. Hamann and Shelly Cooper have created a versatile text for music teacher education, and one that will provide a significant resource for music education students across the US. Based around an innovative organization and approach, Becoming a Music Teacher is made up of 40 short modules that focus on increasing a teacher's comfort and confidence level when instructing or leading groups. Each module is broken down into four individual components that demonstrate real life transfers from classes to classroom through the components of Personal Awareness, Personal Musicianship, Pre-Conducting, and Professional Knowledge. The Personal Awareness component gives a lesson on good teaching skills by focusing on body awareness, body language, and communication styles rather than abstract theories of education. Personal Musicianship provides a guided learning approach to teaching sight-singing and opportunities to create both vocal and instrumental accompaniments with the songs that are included in the modules. Pre-conducting discusses ways in which certain gestures or concepts could be used in rehearsing a school ensemble through the development of hand/arm independence, posture, and gestures. Professional knowledge links the module to the real world and places it in the context of the workplace, offering advice on how to work with other teachers and administrators, and includes characteristics of successful teachers, the role of schools in contemporary society, and diverse learners. When taken together, these components help the student develop a genuinely rounded skill set for the classroom. The lessons are activity-based and interactive, allowing readers to experiment, communicate, and provide feedback. The modules are also flexible and have been designed to be easily integrated into a music education classroom and applied to specific age groups, includingadult learners, a demographic many music education students encounter but one rarely discussed in music education classrooms. Each module stands alone, allowing instructors to customize their lesson plans by selecting or highlighting the modules most relevant to their class. This text also includes exercises that promote reflection on professionalism, collegiality, and legal factors that affect both students and teachers, not found in most education texts.

Download or read book Running a School Instrumental Program written by Gerry Bates and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook is about trying to define the elements of a successful school instrumental program. Instrumental ensembles take various forms. The most obvious is the 'school band', which consists of any combination of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments (sometimes a string instrument such as a double bass is added). Large instrumental ensembles are often known as 'concert bands', although there are other associated names. Primary schools may have a training band, for beginning players; and a performance band for senior players, the concert band being for intermediate players. Primary and secondary schools may also have a stage or big band (jazz band); and high schools in particular may have smaller ensembles such as a woodwind ensemble or string orchestra. Some schools may have enough strings to field a full symphony orchestra (strings, brass, woodwind, percussion). Worldwide, only a few studies have explored what makes a school instrumental music program successful and these have generally focused more on the capabilities of the director rather than on the program as a whole. There have been even fewer studies that have sought to define the elements that go towards setting up, implementing and running a successful school instrumental music program. This Handbook is drawn from the experiences of those who run such programs as music educators, directors and conductors of school instrumental programs; and those who assist as part of the school community that supports such programs. We hope that this Guide may assist all those who seek to develop a successful instrumental program in their own schools, whether they be professional directors or conductors, school staff, volunteer parents or, of course, the players themselves. Dr. Martin Hardy B.Mus.Ed., M.Mus., A.Mus.A. PhD. is a music educator and professional musician based in Sydney, Australia. As a conductor he has worked with many of the country's finest ensembles and has worked with junior beginner ensembles through to professional ensembles in all genres. Dr. Hardy has had extensive experience as a music educator. His commitment to supporting instrumental programs and teaching music was recognised by a New South Wales Education Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Currently, Dr Hardy is Head Teacher of Creative and Performing Arts at Pittwater High School, on Sydney's Northern Beaches; Musical Director of The Sydney Northern Beaches Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and Conductor of the Northern Beaches Orchestra. He regularly adjudicates instrumental festivals, guest conducts ensembles and provides instrumental workshops for both students and teachers. Dr. Gerry Bates LlB (Hons); Ph.D is a parent volunteer at a High School on Sydney's Northern Beaches who used his background in research and analysis to develop a strategy to turn around the failing instrumental program at that School. He attended grammar school in England in the 1960s and the absence in his own school of any support for music education left him with the motivation that his own children should not be so deprived. This Handbook is based upon the strategy he devised for his own school and the experiences that flowed from it.
