EDC-5565: Music Every Day

In this course students find their own connections to music-making and explore ways of integrating music across the daily life of their classroom and school community. No prior music experience is needed for this course. Through activities, readings and videos, students will be introduced to theoretical perspectives, practical skills, repertoire, and resources for integrating music into children’s education (grades pre-K through 12). Explorations provide the opportunity to investigate and reflect upon listening as a learned skill, the nature of sound, elements of music, styles and forms of music, music as social history, and integrating music- and sound-based activities with other curricula. Music will be considered as an expression of culture, as an educational tool, as a discipline in its own right and integrated with other academic learning. Assignments include conducting Music Inquiry (drawing upon interviews), keeping a Journal of repertoire and ideas for future use, and development of an Integrated Curriculum Plan (to include sharing one music-based activity designed by students). This course offers strategies for integrating music and dance to promote children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and kinesthetic development, to build community, and to deepen and assess learning.
