I want my final to help me apply the educational philosophies we've learned about to a practical educational scenario. My project will be an interactive create-your-own-syllabus for an intro to music class. You'll be able to choose which musical styles and traditions you think are most important to include as well as how to teach them. My plan for my project is to use Twine to create kind of an interactive syllabus game for an intro to music class. I want to use it to examine some of the issues that I would face if I were actually teaching an intro to music class: What music should I include? Should I use music that my students will be familiar with, or focus on exposing them to unfamiliar music? How does the music I include valorize some people/cultures and demean or ignore others? How will students from different backgrounds feel about the music I choose? Should the class involve teaching how to create music, or how to analyse it, or should I focus on the philosophical and moral questions surrounding music, or something else? How/to what extent will students contribute to the class? How will the class prepare students for future music classes and possible graduate study? How will the class prepare students to interact with music in their lives in general? Will it prepare them to become engaged citizens? I chose this project because I'm hoping to pursue a career in music and a lot of these issues are important for me to think about. I hope it can help me confront some of the problems with music education in the U.S.

<<set $learningGoals to "- Teach the basics of music literacy\n- Expose students to a variety of musical styles\n- Prepare students for subsequent music classes">><<set $professors to true>> Hello! Welcome to the music faculty! I hope you'll have a good experience while you're here. Since you'll be teaching our intro to music class this semester, here are the course guidelines we've established as a department: - Teach the basics of music literacy - Expose students to a variety of musical styles - Prepare students for subsequent music classes Those will be your overall learning goals, but you have a lot of flexibility in how you teach them! I'd suggest starting with the ''major assignments/tests'' you're going to give your students, including the ''final''. Then pick a ''topic for each assignment'', and then decide exactly ''what topics you want to cover''. Last, you'll need to write a ''course description''. If you want some ideas or you feel stuck, ''send an email'' to me or anyone else in the music department! Best, Craig Yonker crayon@ntrml.net Music Department Head [[Back to email|Check email]]

<<if $professors is true>>The department head suggested you email people from the music department to get ideas.

<<set $group to true>> \ <<set $rhythm to true>><<set $pitch to true>><<set $harmony to true>> \ <<set $euroClass to true>> Hello! Thanks for your email! I taught our intro to music class last year, so hopefully I can be of help. I mostly gave students ''group projects''. The projects dealt with ''rhythm'', ''pitch'', and ''harmony'' so they would have the literacy skills for future classes and their careers (in music or otherwise). For the same reason, I focused heavily on ''classical music''. Of course I think it's important for students to hear other kinds of music, but learning about classical music will give them an head start in future music classes and graduate school, if they choose to pursue that. I'm excited to see your take on this class! Best, Craig Yonker crayon@ntrml.net Music Department Head [[Back to email|Check email]]

<<set $essay to true>><<set $presentation to true>> \ <<set $rhythm to true>><<set $pitch to true>><<set $harmony to true>> \ <<set $am to true>><<set $blaAm to true>><<set $latAm to true>> Hi and welcome to the music faculty! Its great to have you here! It seems like you'll fit right in 😊 If I were teaching intro music, Id probably include a strong emphasis on musical literacy to give students basic musical skills - so Id spend quite a bit of time on ''pitch'', ''rhythm'', ''harmony'', etc. But Id probably have students do essays and presentations instead of tests Of course you also need to spend time on music itself! I think its important to focus on ''American music'' since were in America. Especially ''Black'' and ''Latin American music'', since most music classes are painfully Eurocentric and dont represent our culture See you soon! Numal [[Back to email|Check email]]

<<set $exam to true>><<set $essay to true>><<set $choice to true>> \ <<set $nature to true>><<set $meaning to true>><<set $create to true>><<set $prestige to true>><<set $change to true>> Greetings: Welcome to the music faculty! I'm glad you emailed me to ask about the intro music class. I think my way of teaching it is pretty unique--I try to focus on the philosophical questions surrounding music. Actually I argued for that to be one of the learning goals for the class, but the rest of the department disagreed with me... Anyway, when I taught intro music a couple years ago, we spent a lot of time discussing ''the nature of music'', ''what music means'', ''why people create music'', etc. We also talked about how music interacts with society, like ''what type of music has the most cultural prestige'' and ''how music is used to change society''. These questions are important for everyone who listens to music to consider, but especially for students who will go on to study music. I had my students take an ''exam'', but I also assigned each of them to ''design their own project''. This helps them be more independent and pursue their own interests instead of always having to do what I tell them to. Best, Peola Plessinger [[Back to email|Check email]]

Personally, I think it's important for students to hear as many different kinds of music as possible. Students come from a lot of different cultures and I want each of them to hear something they're familiar with as well as something unfamiliar. Just off the top of my head, these are some of the genres I would make sure to include: - ''American popular'' - ''European classical'' - ''African'' - ''East Asian popular'' - ''Jazz'' - ''Broadway & movie'' - ''Indian classical'' - ''Electronic'' - ''Gamelan (Indonesian classical)'' - ''Indigenous American'' You can also ask students what types of music they want to talk about; I'm sure they'll think of something I haven't! In terms of assessments, I'd probably have them ''compose'' a simple piece of music in a few of the genres (grading them on effort, of course, not on how good their music sounds). Good luck with your syllabus! Letitia Terrell [[Back to email|Check email]]
