MUSC 635 - Sociological Synergy for Success in the Music Classroom

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Music

Description:

This class is an intensive study of the sociological conditions of the music classroom. Through the lens of critical theory and constructivism, the course will examine the implicit curriculum of the music classroom, based on the assumption that teaching is a dynamic endeavor that inevitably leads not only to clearly defined learning objectives, but to unanticipated outcomes and divergent learning as well. Closely related are recently trending topics including gender and sexuality studies, diversity, inclusive education, and how these and similar issues amalgamate in what we define as a relevant musical experience. The consideration of processes related to informal music learning will intersect with psychological and philosophical studies as such defines what humans consider to be a "meaningful musical experience" with the express purpose of facilitating such experiences as performers, teachers, and advocates for musical artistry.
