The past few weeks of working with my Music Education mentor Janine Riveire has consisted primarily of strongly planning out the next few months of my time with the music department at Cal Poly Pomona.
Since Cal Poly does not officially start their school year until the week of September 20th, this is what we have planned:
Music education is more than just the 'education' aspect of it all. I have to really know music to be able to teach it. Therefor, my first in-class experiences should be in basic music education classes such as Conducting, World Music, Music Education, and Vocals Intro. These types of classes are the foundation for any further (more specific) knowledge pursued in music.
In addition to the in-class experience, I will be attending the live shows performed by the students as a part of the traditional hands-on experience Cal Poly is known for. This will allow me to get familiar with how the professors (also the conductors) lead their classes under stressful situations. I think this in particular will be interesting because I'm so used to presenting academic projects at iPoly but it's going to be different in front of an audience.
