Welcome to Music Education Basics

from Field Notes on Music Teaching & Learning · host Ashley Danyew

Music Education Basics is a free online workshop for music educators in all types of settings. It’s available as a video series, but I’m going to share the audio version right here on the podcast so you can tune into the content here each day if that’s easier for you.Each day, we’ll explore a different foundational aspect of music teaching and learning — a core mindset or process or sequence or approach that will apply to you and your work whether you’re teaching elementary or secondary students or even working with adults. Each lesson has a corresponding workbook and a brief challenge to encourage you to take action in some way.In this introductory lesson, we're going to talk about the Music Learning Theory and how learning music is a lot like learning a new language.For show notes, click here.Resources mentioned:Music Education Basics — The free video series (+ downloadable workbooks)The Art of Music Teaching & Learning — A comprehensive online course for music educators in all types of settings.
