“Voice and Choice” is a term frequently used when discussing today’s classroom, especially when thinking about empowering our learners. To a music teacher, it might seem redundant; we hear student voices all the time! But intentionally providing opportunities for student voice and choice in the music classroom does so much more. When students have a voice, their thoughts are heard and valued in the classroom. When students have a choice, they are more intrinsically motivated to learn. In this workshop, come discover how to make small shifts in your classroom to encourage voice and choice, empower your students, and lead them to becoming lifelong musicians.
Active participation, student agency, and increased creativity are all things you will find in a learner-centered ensemble. In this workshop, you’ll learn strategies for incorporating learner-centered practices into your ensemble. As the teacher’s role shifts to that of a facilitator, students can take ownership over the music-making process, allowing their learning to become more relevant and longer-lasting. When this shift in roles is done intentionally, teachers and students work together to create experiences that are more meaningful for everyone.
