Course Description
Join ethnomusicologists, educators, traditional artists, and culture-bearers in a four-day webinar course, June 28- July 1, 2021, on World Music Pedagogy: Teaching Music/Teaching Culture. With 24 sessions over four days, participants will explore the application of diversity issues for their relevance to teaching music to children and youth in elementary and secondary schools. Course sessions will lead to the development of teaching/learning content and process via the five dimensions of World Music Pedagogy, with attention to cultural histories, contexts, and sensibilities. By stepping up attention to *culture*, the musical education of all children and youth in general music classrooms, choral and instrumental ensembles, and various other school courses can emphasize both musical and cultural understandings. This webinar will advance understandings while inviting an open exchange on questions of music, education, and culture.
* Course participants will hear from/dialogue with a diverse faculty online whose specializations include topics of (a) teaching the world’s musical cultures (WMP), (b) matters of social justice and music education, (c) issues pertinent to culturally responsive teaching in music, (d) cultural histories, contexts and meanings of songs, rhythms, and instrumental works of many cultures, and (e) pedagogical styles and strategies that meet the needs of learners of various experiences.
* Excursions into a variety of the world’s musical cultures—local *and* global--will be backed by recommendations for resources (mediated and “human” vis-à-vis culture-bearers) and pedagogical ways of attaining deeper experiences for learners of music and culture.
* Discussions will ensue on questions of music and race, indigeneity, gender and sexuality, and social activism, as well as developmentally appropriate music that fits the needs of learners from early childhood, through elementary and secondary school, and into post-secondary school settings.
* The course fee is inclusive of sessions, plus course preliminaries/preparations along with vetted resources to be recommended for teaching/learning include recordings, video-recordings, websites, print material, and locally living culture-bearers who enhance and enrich learning of music and culture. Webinar course will be delivered through Zoom Video Conferencing with resources and recordings housed on a Canvas Project site. Recordings and resources will be available until December 31, 2021. No refunds will be given since all course sessions will be recorded.
