A Shift to Student-Centered Music Teaching in a Shifting World of Teaching
Dr. Lauri Hogle and Dr. Pam Klena will lead the discussion about who your choral/general and instrumental music students are and what they want and need to learn. Considering the shifting world of teaching, participants will explore practical shifts toward authentically “student-centered” teaching, as well as exploring "quality repertoire" and how to weave a "student-centered" approach in teaching in our repertoire.
