Arts Elevated (FAC)

In this session, we will explore the notion of the scavenger music teacher. This idea arose during my dissertation study with teachers expressing that they lacked the needed knowledge for unfamiliar musics and being overwhelmed by all there is to consume or learn. Through my research, I found that drawing on the collective community and reflexive work were beneficial for changes to teacher perspective and practice. Come prepared to explore ways that we can draw on the collective music community to surpass barriers such as lack of knowledge of unfamiliar musics and what to do when feeling so overwhelmed with how to proceed.
