Making music together: preparing students for a lifetime of ensemble experiences.(2008 PEDAGOGY SATURDAY REPORT)
Making music together with other performers is one of the great joys of our profession, but often, music students are taught in isolation. From beginners to graduate students, and from amateurs to life-long professionals, collaborative opportunities should be an important part of a musician's life. The topic for this year's Pedagogy Saturday at the Denver Conference explored ways to incorporate effective collaborative experiences at all levels.
Carolyn Shaak, an independent teacher from Denver, provided a live demonstration, "Sharing the Bench from the Beginning," with her first- and second-year piano students. Other sessions of the day included panels of members exploring: "Festivals and Competitions as Motivational Tools," "Keyboard Collaborative Careers" and "Focusing the Rehearsal: Tips and Tricks for Students and Coaches." Issues of the college experience were discussed in two sessions, "Small Program, Big Impact" and "Educating the Collaborative Major: When, Why, & How." The day ended with a culminating panel "Round Table Straight Talk." Summaries of these sessions and panels can be found in the following pages.
