Standard 4: The teacher of PK-12 music has skills in listening to, analyzing, describing, and performing music.
Throughout my time as a student of music, I have developed the skills to be proficient in reading, analyzing, listening to, describing and performing music. Through taking classes, performing in ensembles, teaching lessons and, leading rehearsals my skills have grown immensely in my time at K-State. A major of my studies has been both jazz and classical saxophone, listening to and analyzing the music I working to perform gave me better perspective of the music and a more knowledgable approach to accurately performing it. I have also had the opportunity to conduct the University Band at K-State. This semester of teaching and conducting a band helped me develop my skills in analyzing and describing music.
As a director of any ensemble, you must be able to listen, analyze, and describe A) what they are hearing, and B) what needs to be heard in order for an accurate performance to take place. In my own classrooms I will draw upon these skills to guide my students in the right directions musically and to help them develop their own skills. I also plan to have open discussions with my students about what they listen to and what they hear in the ensemble setting. This is the application of these skills and just like practicing or studying for anything else, application of the knowledge is what shows retention and growth. My students development of these skills will set them up to be the best musicians they can be, as their teacher I must hold myself to the highest standard and be capable to listen to, analyze, describe, and perform music.
