Course Title MUED 217 Methods in Elementary and General Music Teaching
Course Description: This course prepares students to teach music at
the elementary and middle levels. Co-requisite with MUED 216.
For music majors only.
NASM
Standards:
Students
must acquire:
·
The prospective music teacher must be a competent conductor, able
to create accurate and musically expressive performances with various types of
performing groups and in general classroom situations. Instruction in
conducting includes score reading and the integration of analysis, style,
performance practices, instrumentation, and baton techniques. Laboratory
experiences that give the student opportunities to apply rehearsal techniques
and procedures are essential. Prospective teachers in programs with less focus
on the preparation of ensemble conductors must acquire conducting and musical
leadership skills sufficient to teach effectively in their area(s) of
specialization.
·
Laboratory and field experiences in teaching general music.
·
Laboratory experience in teaching beginning vocal techniques
individually, in small groups, and in larger classes.
·
Laboratory experience in teaching beginning instrumental students
individually, in small groups, and in larger classes.
·
Knowledge and skills sufficient to work as a leader and in
collaboration on matters of musical interpretation. Rehearsal and conducting skills
are required as appropriate to the particular music concentration.
·
Keyboard competency. Experiences in secondary performance areas
are recommended.
·
An understanding of the common elements and organizational
patterns of music and their interaction, and the ability to employ this
understanding in aural, verbal, and visual analyses.
·
Sufficient understanding of musical forms, processes, and
structures to use this knowledge in compositional, performance, scholarly,
pedagogical, and historical contexts, according to the requisites of their
specializations.
·
The ability to place music in historical, cultural, and stylistic
contexts.
·
Rudimentary capacity to create derivative or original music both
extemporaneously and in written form.
·
The ability to compose, improvise, or both at a basic level in one
or more musical languages, for example, the imitation of various musical
styles, improvisation on pre-existing materials, the creation of original
compositions, experimentation with various sound sources, and manipulating the
common elements in non-traditional ways.
·
A basic overview understanding of how technology serves the field
of music as a whole.
·
Working knowledge of the technological developments applicable to
their area of specialization.
Students
should be:
·
Working independently on a variety of musical problems by
combining their capabilities in performance; aural, verbal and visual analysis;
composition and improvisation; and history and repertory.
·
Forming and defending value judgments about music.
·
Acquiring the tools to work with a comprehensive repertory,
including music from various cultures of the world and music of their own time.
·
Understanding basic interrelationships and interdependencies among
the various professions and activities that constitute the musical enterprise.

Course Objectives
1. Observe music teachers and their
students in instructional settings.
2. Describe verbally and in writing the
observed practices and outcomes.
3. If possible, teach segments of general
music classes.
4. Effectively use instructional methods which fit the situation.
Course Outline
1. Students must observe a minimum of 30
clock hours of instruction in elementary music programs in selected schools.
Three of these hours must be spent in the Trinity Center in Erie (http://www.bethesda-home.org/programs/trinity.htm).
See http://www.oocities.org/mued418/TrinityInterns.htm
for details. 10 of these hours must be spent observing/working directly with
SPED and ELL students. To log these hours, use this form: http://oocities.com/mued217/MUSELLSPEDLog.doc.
To verify these hours with a University Supervisor, Cooperating Teacher,
Instructional Support Teacher, or ESL Specialist, use this form: http://oocities.com/mued217/MUSELLSPEDEval.doc.
2. The observations made in this course
serve as an extension of the requirements for MUED216.
3. Students will provide written (in
journal entries) accounts of their experiences and oral evaluations for class
discussion (in MUED 216). Journal--For each journal entry include (a) the date, (b) class
periods (include beginning and ending times), (c) subject for each class (6th
grade choir, etc.), (d) total number of hours of each visit, and (e) a
description of the events you observe and/or teach. If you are asked to teach
or assist with teaching, please take advantage of every opportunity. Volunteer
to help. Look for ways to be useful. Your enthusiasm will be noted by your
cooperating teacher and will not only help you get a better grade, but may help
you get hired in the future. If
you are asked for written plans, ask me for help and refer to http://oocities.com/mued217/217fieldmanual.doc
4.
Students will refer their cooperating teachers
to http://oocities.com/mued217/217fieldmanual.doc
and/or print it out for them and will refer to it for their own use. Please
also print out the following form for your final evaluation: http://oocities.com/mued217/217fieldeval.doc
and print out http://oocities.com/mued217/217teachsegeval.doc
if you are asking your co-op to evaluate a teaching segment for MUED 216
because I am unable to observe your teaching segment myself.
