E016 Song Collecting with Becca Buck

Becca Buck began collecting authentic folk song material used in the homes of her students and has seen a huge impact in the way that her classroom has grown into a place of relevance, meaning and music making.  You'll hear why she began the project, the difference it has made, and what she has learned as an educator. Becca Buck is the K-5th grade music teacher at M.W. Savage and Gideon Pond Elementary Schools in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School district in Minnesota.  She is in her 7th year teaching and just finished up her Master's degree work this past summer at the University of St. Thomas, which is where she also did her undergrad work. She recently presented at the Minnesota Music Educator's Association conference on her Master's project: "A Culturally Relevant Kodaly Inspired Classroom" with her friend Qorsho Hassan. The project she presented about is what she would love to share about today. https://www.swnewsmedia.com/savage_pacer/songs-from-home-how-a-local-educator-s-song-collection/article_f8a0cd4a-0f7b-5906-b8ed-48de1c0bfae6.html   Afternoon Ti Blog: www.afternoonti.blogspot.com Instagram:  @highafternoonti   Intro/Outro Music "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes www.scottholmesmusic.com
