Empowering Students to Become Self-Reliant Musicians

$20 | 60 minutes

SKU: WHYTSF-ODPP

 

Summary

What do you want your students to know and do? While practice drills and repetition are essential for skill development, they often keep students in the basics of Bloom’s taxonomy.

Let’s explore how to guide students beyond these drills to foster a deeper understanding of music. How can you shift from teacher-directed to student-driven learning, cultivating self-reliant musicians?

We will discuss four areas to transfer the thinking burden to your students’ to-do list: Practice, making it efficient and independent; Application, emphasizing applying knowledge over memorization; Critical Thinking, encouraging students to find information themselves; and finally, Synthesis, the ultimate demonstration of mastery.
