MME 521 - Blending Approaches for Inclusive Settings in Music Education

3.00 credits.

This course examines how an eclectic approach to music methodologies enhances a curriculum that draws from World Music Drumming, as well as other repertoire. Students will examine and apply curriculum and pedagogical approaches to instruction rooted within Dalcroze, Kodaly, Orff, Suzuki, and Music Learning Theory traditions, as well as integrate these approaches to enhance the overall offerings of each student’s teaching responsibilities. From a peacebuilding perspective, students will examine the underlying tools and philosophical aims of all of the approaches and how they can be incorporated within music education as peacebuilding. Prerequisite(s): MME 501 Summer semesters.
