Maybe you are a band/orchestra/choir director that suddenly has a non-performing music class for the first time. Perhaps your administration has given you a cart of computers and told you to create a class for students not in performing ensembles. I will discuss strategies, pedagogy and best practices for teaching teenagers in non-performing music classes. This podcast will have a special focus on music technology/composition type classes, but will also include discussions on more instrumental based classes like guitar and piano.
