Summary

This course explores ways of incorporating reflection and creativity in music learning. The course introduces the use of thinking routines and documentation when facilitating musical experiences in which students create, perform, respond to, and connect with music in varied contexts and means. This course encourages critical thinking towards pedagogical practices through the lens of musician, educator, and community of learners.

 

In this course, learners will:

  • Define documentation as data that inform reflective and inclusive invitations to learning.
  • Practically and meaningfully reflect on ways to integrate thinking routines to promote reflection and group learning.
  • Reflect upon the “qualities” of high-quality and creative musical learning to inform pedagogy and implement shifts in practice to promote further reflection.

Here is the class outline:
