What does an educator do when witnessing a “clique” of students in a classroom that are making others feel left out? @alicehammel #JMUGenMus

@jstapes learned throughout my undergrad (2/2) #JMUgenmus @JMUMusicEd

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@jstapes My biggest hurdle is the fear of not having enough knowledge to supply the students, specifically forgetting things I've (1/2)

@jstapes Hello!

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@emweikle @KitKat596 I like that idea of incorporating culture that matters to THEM! #JMUgenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@ajtothemaxx @MaddieRinehart3 OMG OMG OMG YES

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@Jesse_Rathgeber Students would usually be more excited to play a pop tune on the ukulele than playing a classical piece on piano #JMUgenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@davidbogaev I think allowing the students to participate and enjoy the music with them could contribute to enthusiasm #JMUGenmus

First day of uke building! #JMUgenmus #GoDukes #JMU #JMUke

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

How can we maintain the enthusiasm when playing ukuleles into traditional classroom lesson plans? #JMUgenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

Is there classical music for ukulele that can be taught? #JMUgenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@KitKat596 @emweikle With that idea, we could have students research the culture behind the music to create a rounded perspective #JMUgenmus

@emilyveramessa @swilsonmusiced @ejatwoodmusic Allsup said in his reading there are similarities between genres we can connect! #JMUgenmus

@brosserino didn't have room for #JMUgenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@Jesse_Rathgeber @jennyhoye_music How do we do this without overstepping our boundaries as new additions to the faculty? #JMUGenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@jennyhoye_music I think it depends on the flexibility and willingness of the school administration. Transition without overkill #JMUGenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

@brosserino I think it needs to slowly be incorporated with transition overtime, but yes! Times are changing and educators need to as well.

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

As future music educators, what steps do we take to become successful mavens? #JMUGenmus

[Isabel Florimonte @isabelbel_f]

How can a music educator create a classroom where traditional music is equally enjoyable as non-traditional music to a student? #JMUGenmus
