Theory, History & Composition for ALL Students: Creating Accessible, Diverse & Relevant Lessons

Music education should reach all students with all types of music. This asynchronous course provides a framework for reimagining music theory, history and composition to create lessons that teach musical concepts using music of all styles, and empowers students to seek the relevancy and meaning of music on their own. Each week of the course will include a small project that can be used with your students right away, and these projects will scaffold to form a framework for teaching music in a collaborative and inclusive manner. This collaborative course will also allow us to explore our own musical biases, expand our knowledge of music from other cultures, and we will engage in healthy discussion about music’s role in society today.
