Teaching and Evaluating
THE TEACHER OF MUSIC HAS SKILLS IN TEACHING AND EVALUATION TECHNIQUES FOR VOCAL, INSTRUMENTAL, AND GENERAL MUSIC.
KNOWLEDGE
PERFORMANCE
REFLECTION
A music educator must be able to convey the message being told in each piece. If a music educator has not taken the time to learn the necessary skills to do so, then they can hinder the musical journey a student might have. Being able to come up with proper evaluation processes is essential to advancing your ensemble. Without these processes, I feel is where programs will either become stagnant or decline, they will never succeed.
ARTIFACTS
Below is a video of my first and second grade Valentine's Day Program. The two songs that first grade sang were written by the classes themselves, set to the tune of simple melodies that they have learned in the past. Many of the songs that were sung, I arranged using Garageband for iPad.
