The Power of Our Words: (Re)defining Musicianship & Management
Professional Development Session for the 
Michigan Music Education Association, via Zoom
Students leave our schools knowing that they are writers, readers, scientists, and mathematicians, but what about ‘musicians’? Our words claim that 'music is for all,' but what other messages might teacher language be communicating to students? Using recent research and the Responsive Classroom approach as frameworks, participants in this session will critically examine musicianship-related messages that may be implicitly and/or explicitly conveyed in the music classroom.
