Electronic Music School: A Contemporary Approach to Teaching Musical Creativity is a practical blueprint for teachers wanting to begin teaching music technology to secondary age students. Will Kuhn and Ethan Hein inspire classroom music teachers to expand beyond traditional ensemble-based music education offerings to create a culture of unique creativity and inclusivity at their schools.
Part One offers an overview of the philosophical and institutional aspects of starting a music technology program, with a particular focus on the culture of electronic music surrounding digital music creation tools. Part Two dives deep into curricula for music lab classes, including several lesson examples and techniques. This section also includes abbreviated project plans for teachers who have fewer contact hours with their students. Part Three discusses how music technology courses can grow into a larger media creation program, how such a program can contribute to the broader school culture, and how project-based music learning effectively prepares students for careers in media. Electronic Music School also includes narratives from music technology students themselves, who often have an intuitive understanding of the future directions music technology programs can take.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Featuring a creative workshop model that goes beyond our traditional music education pedagogy and curriculum, Kuhn & Ethan Hein shape new trends for music teachers to support their own students as successful electronic music makers in multiple settings. Whether learning in PK-12 settings, in school, at home or in the community, Electronic Music School is a must read guide for all worldwide. * Elise Sobol, Director of Music Education, NYU Steinhardt Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions * In today's world, the presence of technology in teaching there has never been more essential tool for connecting, creating, and capturing student work. The integration of technology into the music classroom is no longer a fringe endeavor by a small group of tech geeks - the coming of age of technology in the music classroom has arrived. What Kuhn & Hein have put together in this publication is magnificent - an essential guide to not only how to build a technology-rich learning environment for music - what they call an Electronic Music School - but a well-crafted guide to how to teach in this new environment, why this type of learning is relevant, and practical strategies for continuing to engage students for years to come. Any music educator interested in incorporating more music technology into their instruction should add this book to their professional library immediately. * Jim Frankel, Director, MusicFirst *
