  • There is no one way to make music, and there certainly isn’t one theory about how to make and understand music.
  • theories are generally descriptive representations of a style, not prescriptive principles to guide creative compositional work.

  • ...1 more annotation...
  • my personal goal for the core curriculum is to help students think critically and in detail about music, and to communicate clearly and persuasively about music.

    An interesting investigation into music theory. More related to tertiary music, but still a good read.

  • We should do less of spending money on assessment detached from designing learning and more of creating learning experiences that are irresistibly engaging."
  • "The integration of technology and pedagogy to maximize learning must meet four criteria. It must be irresistibly engaging; elegantly efficient (challenging but easy to use); technologically ubiquitous; and steeped in real-life problem solving."
  • "I hold out four criteria for integrating technology and pedagogy to produce exciting, innovative learning experiences for all students --something desperately needed to bring education into the 21st century. These new developments must be i) irresistibly engaging (for students and for teachers); ii) elegantly efficient and easy to use; iii) technologically ubiquitous 24/7; and iv) steeped in real-life problem solving."
