Episode 2: Follow the science to help us, not hurt us!
Choral Connectivity: A People-First Approach to Singing09/16/21 • 66 min
This week, I speak with friend, choral colleague, and music educator Justine Hansen, who poses the question: Do we need to commit to a large shift away from performance-based music education? Why is there so much research that Music Education is one of the best things we have to offer humankind, and yet public school education systems aren't "following the science?" Music advocacy has used research-based science regarding the importance of music education in child development for years, and yet the facts are so often not being considered in schools. What do we need to do differently to be heard? Is it time for a complete overhaul/renaissance with a community-based (not performance-based) focus, especially as we build up from what was lost through the pandemic?
After listening, we hope to hear from you about your thoughts on our musings, as we prepare a Part 2 episode after hearing your creative ideas on a potential shift in the goals of music education. Share your thoughts and ideas here with us: www.choralconnectivity.com
