Should the teacher's word be the end all, be all in music ed? Would you be more likely to join a general music class in HS if you had more say? #JMUGenMus

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

Some people find Beyoncé’s “who run the world” to be more oppressive than liberating. I think the opposite, hbu? #JMUmused 10/17

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

#JMUmused My perfect teacher is someone who is happy and wants to give kids the tools to succeed in and enjoy music. What is yours?

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

How can teachers implement parts of the inclusion policy through their own teaching even if their school has no formal program #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

Are there any free community resources you recommend other teachers use for helping their own students with special needs #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

Went to a #jmumustech talk on choral education! Was the only one there for the second session, cool experience!

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@jstapes depends. There isn't really a limit to what one can think but there can be barriers financially or physically in what they can do

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@AilishHall Kids need guidelines but if they are given the opportunity to experiment for themselves then it shouldn't inhibit #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@jstapes it is valuable because people learn different ways. Utilizing music can help if it is more relatable to someone. #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@Jesse_Rathgeber I hadn't considered that! Its easy to forget common things are technology Ex: music stands or basic instruments #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@jstapes I was thinking about the teaching; sometimes instructions are too strict which I think could repress kids creativity #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@howardkimmusic wrong way could be as simple as only letting kids do projects w/ too specific instruction and not allowing play #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@tinatelep some creative decisions we make everyday can be anything down to what you put in your food. Almost every decision is creative.

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@AnnaCassidy02 a traditional instrument shouldn't be required. Kids need to know this, especially kids with needs or physical limitations

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@howardkimmusic I think it is under done b/c older people are less likely to try new things. use will probably go up with our generation.

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@journee_c I don't think it can inhibit creativity; I think it increases creativity since ppl can make things they otherwise could not have

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

@braungfmus I thought traditional=better b/c of skills like breath+posture that tech doesnt need, but Tech has many different skills needed.

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

How would someone go about playing/ specializing in a technological instrument? #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

Can tech in music ed make kids less creative if it is used the wrong way? Couldn't teachers just show kids to plug stuff in? #jmumustech

[Theresa Perez @pereztx135]

Is it possible for technology to become too much a part of music? Are there potential negative impacts of the two mixing? #jmumustech
