    Observation Report: Rachel Pollard At Hartwood Elementary School

    Our last observation this semester was with Rachel Pollard at Hartwood Elementary School. This school includes grades K-5. Mrs. Pollard is in a very unique situation, because she sees each of her classes for forty minutes twice a week. Since she has twice as much time with her students as compared to most other music teachers, her students are able to advance quickly with their musical skills. This benefit was very obvious through my observations. Mrs. Pollard’s lessons were well thought-out and she had clear objectives in mind for each activity. Everything she did served a purpose, including singing a song to move the students into a new seating arrangement and her “point checks” at the beginning of class.…

    The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) is an organization which supports young adults who have a passion for music, inspires excellence in musicianship, and advanced strong leadership skills through their program. Many parents, students, and community members are concerned that because local elementary and middle schools have had to cut the music programs from their curriculum, the lack of support will decline and the appreciation and enjoyment from talented individuals will be discouraged. SRPYS is an organization which has developed plans to educate and advance the skills of young musicians so they may perform at their highest potential.…

    Gates Millennium Scholarship Response Essay

    I teach them how to use proper diction, proper posture and eye contact. I teach them how to be respectful. I teach them how to apply these skills to other areas of their lives. In the Summer of 2011, I was privileged to work with the children at Vacation Bible School. This included children from my church and members of the community who did not attend the church. I took reluctant kids from apprehensive parents and transformed them into excited, energetic, eager singers. I transferred my love of music to this group of 86 kids, who became motivated and inspired by my energy, innovation and gymnastic skills. Through the use of interactive signs and audience participation, I evoked in them a spirit of leadership while teaching good moral values. Each child wanted a chance to lead out in front with me. Parents were awed at the transformation in their kids after one week. My goal is to unlock the potential in…

    Spring Musical Observation

    Ever since I stopped playing the piano, I yearned to learn a new instrument. After testing out a wide range of instruments from the trombone to the guitar, I finally found one that fit my personality: the clarinet. Then over the years, I started to learn the different techniques to better my playing, all while performing with the Kansas City Youth Symphony, school band programs, and the spring musicals. But as the curtain fell for the last time on the musical my freshman year, the District Music Festival was looming just around the corner.

    While I may enjoy certain areas of academic study at this point in time, I have not reached the level of passion that I have reached for my musical endeavors. I believe that this is because I have attached my academic interests exclusively to my time in school classrooms, while music has brought me to many different lively events and performances. When I heard about the numerous facilities and museums available at LSA, I recognized them as a way to physically and emotionally connect to material that was previously only…

    Music Education

    I believe teaching individuals about singing, playing instruments, moving, composing and listening is incredibly important, ranging from infants through to adults, but starting in early childhood would be most beneficial for long term benefits. These key elements contribute significantly in developing their music skills and knowledge; contributing to their education on a more broad scale (Broad, 2007 pg23); and/or assisting the student’s emotional/mental development.…

    Creativity in the Music Classroom

    Creativity as a form of musical learning tends to present itself in children aged 16 and above, after the prior stages of reactionary learning, knowledge gathering, experimentation and evaluation.[1] It is then fair to state that creativity, as part of the learning process, is an indication of the individual students’ ability to synthesise information, extrapolate ideas, and experiment with these ideas in realisation. As teachers of a creative art, we as music teachers should foster creative learning in the classroom at the earliest possible opportunity – that is, once the students are confident, as opposed to competent, in their craft. We should also guide these students carefully through the various creative processes encountered through these lessons, so that they become aware of these processes without hindering or impacting upon creativity in the future.…
