Pedagogy into Practice
Post-presentation pic with honorary Note Doctor Jenny Snodgrass.
We were thrilled to present a panel discussion and poster at the 2024 Pedagogy into Practice Conference at the University of Oklahoma.
Our poster was titled "Music Career Paths and the Role of Music Theory: Perspectives from disciple leaders outside of music theory." Based on conversations from six past episodes, error detection emerged in many responses while the integration of skill-based activities in service of real musical performance and outcomes surfaced in many discussions.
Our panel discussion was titled "Conversations in Music Theory Pedagogy: More than just talking" and was recorded live, released as Note Doctors Podcast Episode 77.
Below are the results from each of our audience survey questions from our presentation.
What textbook do you use?
What percentage of your musical examples come from your textbook?
What is a musical example you use right now that you did not use five years ago? And how do you use it?
Are there non-traditional dictation or sight-singing activies you use in the classroom? If so, what are they?
What percentage of the dictation activities are played from the piano?
Do you use Kodaly hand signs or conducting when students sing?
What percentage of your class time is devoted to musical parameters outside of pitch/harmony/rhythm?
What is something that is taught anywhere in your theory or aural skills curriculum that you anticipate you will always teach?
What is something anywhere in your theory or aural skills curriculum that you have stopped teaching in favor of something else?
What is one small change you have made that someone here could take home and use tomorrow?
