OK SO I think I finally have a direction for this blog, but financial aid might throw it under a bridge and burn it then maybe hit with a bus a few times and then light it on fire again just to be sure and if the fire wasn't enough, just wait for the water damage from putting the fire out...

something i’ve learned while teaching elementary and middle school flute lessons these past few weeks is that students will do Anything to not do class work, no matter how much they like the subject. my students constantly strike up conversation with me, which i of course will talk back. it can be hard sometimes to try and get them back on track with their train of thought to get off of the topic of their ski trip this weekend and get into lesson mode.

i think that something that i need to realize as an educator is that i am the one in charge when it comes to teaching. of course i am going to let my students discuss topics they’re excited or passionate about, because i don’t want to ‘rule with an iron fist’. theres no fun in not letting your students talk to you or others about what they are doing or enjoying recently. however, there is a time where i need to put my foot down to make sure work is done effectively and on time. and there is no need to do it in a rude way that makes students feel uncomfortable or unwelcome in your classroom. i know there are plenty of teachers that create little rhymes that help call students to attention and get the day started.

like i’ve mentioned before, have fun with your students! but don’t let them take over your class. you have the floor!

Hey guys so I’m a music ed major and would anyone be interested in seeing my notes from our ‘special learners’ unit? Primarily for students in the American education system, more specifically Florida, but most of it covers federal law. The first few pages cover strictly legal matters, and I want to make sure everyone knows their rights according to the federal laws, because schools aren’t good at following them. If you’re interested, reply, reblog, or DM me saying so, and I’ll DM you the link. I’m also available for any questions, but do know that my knowledge is federal and Florida-specific, and I’m not a professional, just a student, so I may not be able to answer every question.

Heyyy are any of you college music majors/minors? If so, I have a survey I made for a research project and it would be really helpful if you’d be willing to fill it out because I’m really struggling to get responses 🥺

The link is below, it’s completely anonymous. Just fill it out to the best of your abilities. If you fill it out, I just want to say thank you in advance!

the most important part about elementary music teaching is that we are creating their foundation of music as a concept. we will be the first formal introduction to music in schools. obviously, these students will know what music is, but we are their intro to how music is made and how we can make it effectively ourselves!

music, as with any grade level, is definitely less rigorous in terms of course expectations. (or at least, it can be.) students aren't expected to remember their times tables by heart, or learn new facets of the english language. of course, music has its own hardships for our students, but they are approached differently beacause of the way our classes would be structured. these classes are meant to be both engaging and educational. something that has definitely stuck with me was this philosophy we discussed in my elementary music methodolgy class:

"tell me and i forget. show me and i remember. involve me and i understand."

i think this is absolutely crucial to teaching elementary-age students. they are so young, and their minds are incredibly impressionable. just talking at them will not get them to learn and understand what your end goal of what you're teaching them is. showing them adds the extra layer of audio and visual, but still leaves them without the aspect of physically understanding what is being taught. giving them the opportunity to physically enact what you are teaching them, whether it be through a song and dance, a music game, a fun worksheet, or performing on an instrument, you are having these students access multiple parts of the brain and help them conceptualize the lessons better.

Objective #1 is done! Will I be tired tomorrow morning? Probably. But I'm just glad I don't have to do the translation in a panic after class.

#amy rambles #amy's to do list #german #catholic university of america #cua #musicology #music major #it was a translation on the history of germany #and i have to say it got me wondering how german history classes approach the holocaust #like do they educate children about it in the equivalent to middle school? #do they gloss over it like americans gloss over lynchings and the japanese internment camps post pearl harbor? #i kind of want to ask my professor who was born in germany #but at the same time that seems kind of rude to ask and i don't want to be a jerk

in op’s tags she says “nobody wants to pay for your dumb liberal arts degree” but without liberal arts degrees there will be no teachers, writers, publishers, editors, foreign language teachers, musicians, historians, museums, archives, artists, therapists, journalists, criminal justice, economics, etc etc etc. i really hate how so many people, many of whom are college educated, trash on liberal arts. sure, a history major isn’t going to make 100k per year right after graduation like some stem majors do, but that doesn’t mean that history majors aren’t important or that people should drop what they’re passionate about to do something they’re not good at/they hate just because it has a higher salary. all of these careers are needed, and that’s not even mentioning how for so many kids they’re told that college is the only way to succeed and get ahead in life. my high school only advertised trade school for like plumbers, electricians, mechanics, that kind of stuff.

she looks down on liberal arts and humanities which is so embarrassing honestly, like those fields encompass so many important and culturally rich professions. implying its worthless for people to get degrees so they can work in fields they love is just crazy to me.

#she reeks of conservativism #im a language major #i have friends who are theater majors #theyre happy and thriving in their higher education as they want to go into theater as a profession #i dont look at her as wasting her degree #my cousin is an art history major #she enjoys it and wants to work in a museum #how is that worthless??? #i hope she never steps foot in cultural or musical spaces ever again if she hates these fields so much that she thinks its not worth free #or reduced college costs #fucking what even
