@AMFennell @NAfME Some of my students have to work full time since their families are out of work, plus they have family members hospitalized.

@bertrandsmusic @RyanYaps @AMFennell @Drummeranthony @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 Speaking of solving problems in life, I am designing/teaching an online graduate course this summer Peace Building Through Music. Taking experiences from Musicians Without Borders and applying them to teaching. Contact me for details.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@AMFennell @Drummeranthony @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 It happens in the Informance. Ownership on display with shared participation of the musicians and the "audience".

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@RyanYaps @AMFennell @Drummeranthony @bertrandsmusic @rebelmusicteach @RyanRainville @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 @NAfME That's CRP (Culturally Responsive Pedagogy) at it's finest. Taking the interests of your students and applying it to performance.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@AMFennell @MrsJontos @RyanYaps @Drummeranthony @bertrandsmusic @rebelmusicteach @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 Our band explored "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Beatles) and improvised/performed the music through listening and playing. I have the lesson plan if your want it.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@AMFennell It's all in your perspective and philosophy of music education that will make the difference for your students' life long music-making.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@MrsJontos @AMFennell @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 @bertrandsmusic General music has the freedom without the constraints of traditional ensembles.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@Drummeranthony @AMFennell @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 @bertrandsmusic And the interpretation through media, tempos of sections, new improvisations, and applications.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@AMFennell @NAfME Adding in an introduction to the piece.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@AMFennell The product is the reward.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@AMFennell @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 @bertrandsmusic @Drummeranthony Usually happens in warm-ups during our ensemble rehearsals. Student improvise on the chord structure of the piece we are rehearsing.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@MrsJontos @AMFennell @NAfME @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 I remember when one of my students recalled a musical game that taught accents rather than the piece of music that had the accents! Use superballs, bounce them and play along with their bounce on their instruments.

[Caron Collins @BandTchr1]

@MrsJontos @AMFennell @NAfME @ChuckHulihan @msallyssajones @jsheelmusic @rsperli @StroffRuns @davidw33543 It's the process not the product that creates lasting musicianship.
