Dragonfly on My Shoulder: Transformation in Music Education
2024
Overview
This autoethnographic essay critically examines my teaching experiences across various school settings, reflecting on the need for transformation within music education spaces. Through personal anecdotes, I explore key moments in my career where student responses to materials, techniques, and strategies suggested a necessity for change. Notable interactions include the mispronunciation of names in diverse classrooms and student calls for \"real\" music, prompting a consideration of dominant perceptions of what constitutes \"authentic\" music in the classroom. I also examine how students\" cultural backgrounds shape their musical experiences and challenge conventional frameworks in music education. The narrative concludes with the impact of pandemic-related restrictions, which further underscored the demand for adaptation and innovation in teaching practices. Through critical reflection, I highlight the importance of embracing change to meet the needs of students and nurture their diverse musical identities. Additionally, I present recent resources that align with these evolving pedagogical approaches.
