Synopsis

This course is designed to further develop students' knowledge and skills to facilitate meaningful, developmentally appropriate, authentic and engaging music experiences in the primary and middle school. Students will continue to build skills in music and constructivist music pedagogy. They will interpret current curriculum documents in order to develop and trial curriculum approaches in the music classroom. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between pedagogical principles, theoretical components and practice within music and how this informs the research, design and implementation of authentic music practices in school settings.
