This class changed my perspective on teaching music!
It was excellent. I loved the open discussions. The instructors were careful not to overwhelm us, and I now understand and have ideas on how to use the sequence in my teaching. Every music teacher should take this course!
Lillie Feierabend is a wonderful teacher! I learned not only about culture and movement, but how to simplify strategies and ingrain movement for all ages and levels. Just loved this class! Very inspiring!
Heather shows that she is passionate about her profession and is very knowledgeable about her area. I learned a great deal.
Another incredible workshop by Ben Toth! He's a fantastic percussionist and teacher. The course was full of practical information that will help me do a better job of preparing my percussionists.
Jeff Rhone has done an excellent job creating two weeks of information that are directly applicable to teaching. We are lucky enough to have a started binder of folk songs we can use right away.
John is amazing!!! I come to his class every day with the excitement I hope my kids have for my class. I've never had a teacher so enthusiastic and passionate with such character that inspires you.
Fantastic professor - I would love to take additional analysis courses with him in the future!
Professor Menhart was extremely helpful. I feel like I have learned more in three weeks than I did in all of undergraduate ear training.
Dr. Hansen made sure to connect the course material to our teaching whenever possible. What I have learned in this class will really benefit my students in the fall.
