It is a chat dedicated to both choral, general, and instrumental music education. This specific chat day was focused on improvisation and composition in the music classroom.]]> 2018-03-19 22:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243782268 turner_avrial https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243782642 Just to set up the chat, my personal knowledge on improvisation and composition in the music classroom is super limited to general music composition and improvisation. So, as I expressed, I was super excited to hopefully get some new information and resources. ]]> 2018-03-19 22:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243782642 turner_avrial https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243783569 Just recently, we had a faculty candidate come in and present on improvisation in the choral classroom. One of the most enjoyable moments of her presentation I will talk about in Resource One! -----> go look there! ]]> 2018-03-19 22:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243783569 turner_avrial https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243783969 I post this question because I think my fears are ones widely felt by students and teachers! But, beyond that, I had never considered what my definition of success in composition and improvisation is. Defining with students in the future could be a key point in helping students not fear composition and improvisation. ]]> 2018-03-19 22:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243783969 turner_avrial https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243784401 In this resource by the National Association of Music Educators, the author describes circle singing as a means of encouraging improvisation in a non-threatening and supportive manner. This method uses essentially layer ostinati to create harmonic and collaborative singing. During a possible faculty presentation at CSU's UCA, the presenter used circle singing as proof of concept that improvisation is suitable in the choral classroom. It was honestly the most enjoyable moment of musical expression I had been a part of in my academic career. The article highlights more research on circle singing, so check it out! ]]> 2018-03-19 22:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243784401 turner_avrial https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243785172 This resource addresses multiple concerns involving improvisation in music education. It speaks about the varied definitions and standards associated with improvisation but then also discusses possible benefits and implementation techniques for improvisation in the music classroom. ]]> 2018-03-19 22:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243785172 turner_avrial https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243785609 2018-03-19 22:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/turner_avrial/eely9gv5oquv/wish/243785609
