04/13/12 The continuation of teaching…with a twist!
Hello, all!
Through my last MIE internship, I learned so much about the importance of lesson planning as well as the importance of flexibility throughout teaching private lessons in order to provide an educational context catered to the individual student. I will resume teaching my four-year-old student, continuing to stay aware of the learning process of last semester; however, instead of focusing on documenting lessons through plans and responses, I will be learning different techniques through Larry Scripp’s Teaching Seminar. I will be adapting and implementing what I learn into my teaching to develop my experiences with my student in creative ways. I am also incorporating my solfege tutoring into this process as the Teaching Seminar carries into, and speaks directly to, teaching theory and rhythm. I am so excited to be able to stretch my teaching abilities and will hopefully see a wonderful outcome!
