District 203 Music Philosophy by Trish Sniadecki https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31 Which part(s) of the philosophy speak to you as a music educator and why? en-us 2018-10-01 02:00:57 UTC 2026-01-02 05:43:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289136811 Music is ESSENTIAL]]> 2018-10-04 13:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289136811 "Instills a lifelong love, enjoyment, understanding, and respect for music." https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289136839 I love the lifelong aspect of that. The really cool part of having students for as long as we do is that we get to build a lasting relationship with students and we get to work for a much longer time to build that passion and respect to last them for the rest of their lives. ]]> 2018-10-04 13:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289136839 "Instills a lifelong love, enjoyment, understanding, and respect for music." https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289136955 I love the lifelong aspect of that.

This statement supports that. ]]> 2018-10-04 13:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289137009 https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289137665 2018-10-04 13:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289137665 https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289137957 I love the first point of creating, responding, performing, and connecting, which really encompasses the world of elementary music! ]]> 2018-10-04 13:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289137957 all students should have equitable access to a comprehensive, cohesive, and rigorous program of study https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138040 2018-10-04 13:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138040 Collaboration https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138065 The collaboration music requires is so vital to the elementary student, who learn through this effort how to listen, empathize, and be a group member]]> 2018-10-04 13:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138065 "...all students should have equitable access to a comprehensive, cohesive, and rigorous program of study..." https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138070 I love the thought of vertical alignment from K-12 music. Having a well-scripted curriculum map that gives not only the instructors but the students/families a structure of the experience that a child could or should have in music may give more "buy-in" or consideration to retention and excitement of what they are doing in their music classrooms.]]> 2018-10-04 13:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138070 Collaboration https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138110 The collaboration music requires is so vital to the elementary student, who learn through this effort how to listen, empathize, and be a group member.]]> 2018-10-04 13:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138110 I like the emphasis on nurturing a personal level of understanding, appreciation and passion for music since all kids are unique. https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138300 2018-10-04 13:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138300 I like the emphasis that ALL students have equitable access, not just the talented, superstar musicians but also those students in our classrooms that struggle emotionally, physically and mentally. ALL students deserve the right to a qualitymusical education. https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138754 2018-10-04 13:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289138754 Wording... dcarroll30_3 https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289139570 Music isn't an essential part of learning, but it is an essential part of a holistic curriculum.  Or an essential part of our civilization.  Or an essential part of a complete education.  (or similar...)
Furthermore, how are we distinguishing between love, enjoyment, understanding, and respect?  Could we just say a lifelong love and understanding of music?  Or is there another essential component that we wish to include?  Is respect and enjoyment  different enough to stand on their own as goals?  Lastly, should there be any mention of collaboration, or the communal/cultural significance of music-making as a group?]]> 2018-10-04 13:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289139570 Middle School is where we set the "hook". Kids have to REALLY dig it if they're going to stick with it. Playing "Eye of the Tiger" now will help instill their love of "Lincolnshire Posy" later. https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289144160 2018-10-04 14:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289144160 I really like the emphasis on creating students who have a lifelong love and respect for music. https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289149613 2018-10-04 14:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289149613 I think the philosophy statement is excellent, addressing all important goals of our music program. I especially like the part about students learning to love music and enjoy it. https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289267598 2018-10-04 16:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/wv7fzl7baf31/wish/289267598
