Next Episode: 03- Are the Teenagers Alright?
After a longer than expected hiatus, Music for Teenagers returns with how what you learned about teaching methods in an elementary general music class, might not apply to teaching music to teenagers. The 2015 American Psychological Association paper "The Top 20 Principals for Pk-12 Teaching and Learning". is referenced heavily, and how changes in the teenage brain make teens both more fascinated with music, and less likely to be creative with it.
I also talk about overcoming knowledge and experiences students may bring to the classroom through relationship building, and logical examples.
