Da Capo: Recent Episodes
Stephen Keys, Chad Zullinger
This week’s episode was precipitated from a post in the Facebook group Music Teachers by an author advocating for the teaching of “fine Art” music as a basis for a “quality” music education. A conversation ensues with guest #musedchat moderator Joe Guarr about an informal and culturally representative pedagogy in our classrooms as an additional path of teaching and learning for music students.
We discuss the value and benefits for learning and personal growth by completing the Google educator certifications. Our guest Theresa Ducassoux shares the process of becoming a Google Innovator. Her project TACET offers strategies and encouragement for music teachers self-care and well-being.
This episode, and particularly the tone of this season, focuses on identifying the status of the health and well-being of both our students and their teachers. As the academic year comes to an end, typically at a time of summative assessments, festivals, and concerts, Martina gives us an important idea to consider: be "relentlessly kind" with our students.
In this episode, Chad and Stephen return for Season 2 in the midst of one of the world’s infectious pandemics in over 100 years: the COVID-19 virus. Every academic institution nearly across the globe has been suspended for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. Distance/Remote Learning is the new norm as educators scrambled to turn years of curriculum into online modules. This episode attempts to document a state-of-the-state in Education in April 2020.
In this episode, Chad and Stephen welcome guest John Mlynczak to discuss copyright issues in the new age of educational technology.
