Culturally Relevant Pedagogy

Diverse and enriching knowledge comes with learning from the different cultures and walks of life we surround ourselves with.

​

Inclusion

inclusion provides “...environments, curricula and learning opportunities that include students with special needs, English language learners, students from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and students of diverse ethnic and racial origins." -- Jui-Ching Wang

​

Attribution Theory is a psychology term that explains how humans assign causes to other people’s actions and behaviors. “While students may enter the classroom with limited subject matter knowledge and skills, they bring with them a myriad of ideas, feelings, and prior experiences with music that will certainly influence their learning” --Raiber and Teachout

Empathy and care for people as humans and their history is crucial.

In this small world, make the most we can for our little time we have together to motivate, encourage, love, compose for, perform for, and teach one another.
