DANC 091. Introduction to Performing Arts Education: Music & Dance

(Cross-listed as MUSI 091 , EDUC 071)
How do we learn in the performing arts? This course explores a range of performing arts issues confronting educators in theory and practice. While the focus is music and dance, we will also consider theater. We will look at primary education in the United States, and we will also touch upon some of the ways the performing arts are taught to older students, as well as in other cultures. Students will draw upon their own experiences as teachers and learners. The course will culminate in a collaborative teaching project in which our class as a whole will develop and implement a program of performing arts instruction for children in partnership with an urban public school.
Prerequisite: This course is open to any student who has taken at least one course in education, music, dance, or theater.
