Thanks for the conversation everyone. Another solid discussion! #musedchat
@jdk_music point taken. I just enjoy making fun of my “dancing” skills. #musedchat
@jdk_music A Zimbabwean has never met my feet. #musedchat
RT @ColinTGraham: Very few people cannot sing, very few people are truly tone-deaf, it is a matter of investment of time. #musedchat
I have failed students who made no attempt, but have not experienced students with no ability to this point in my career. #musedchat
@pisanojm well students in HS for 8 years may have other problems!! :D #musedchat
@pisanojm it may not be completely fair, but neither are our levels of individual talent. That’s why I grade by combination #musedchat
@pisanojm I think we need to assess based on a predetermined standard for the experience level, & in context of their own growth #musedchat
RT @ElissaMilne: Ss understanding of music history is more engaged when they are creatively involved in the history #musedchat
history, theory, cultural backgrounds, etc. should all be taught alongside performance. It is teaching the whole music. #musedchat
@drtimony true, but I don’t have time in the period to hear everyone & keep the rest of the class occupied. The ‘tech’ fixes that #musedchat
I’m using SmartMusic this year to test scales, and spot-check parts from ensemble lit. #musedchat
We only have performance classes at my school, but I am working at incorporating more theory, composition, & tech this year #musedchat
Color Guard practice over. Heading home for #musedchat ! Music teachers join us at 5PM PDT http://bit.ly/bKVVOZ
