My Philosophy in Music Education

Children love to be asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” because forwhatever reason, they already have an answer ready. Some of the most commonresponses include doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs. While most children’saspirations are attainable, their goals usually change as they are exposed to more of theworld and its challenges. It is very uncommon to find an adult who is in the professionthat they have always dreamed of. In this sense, my pursuit of the teaching profession,especially in the field of music, is rare, since it has always been my childhood dream tobecome a teacher. After committing myself to music throughout high school andpursuing a degree in music education and performance in college, I am able to begin toformulate my philosophy on education. Included in this philosophy are my personal viewsconcerning why music is an important aspect of the educational system, to whom musicshould be taught, and how it should be taught.

The first question that I considered while formulating my philosophy was,”Why? What is the purpose of teaching music?” Unlike many other professions, thegratification from teaching music comes in a form other than a paycheck. In my opinion,the most important reason to teach music is to pass it on. By sharing music with others, itis possible to make others as passionate about it as you are. Even if a student cannot playvery well, it is still important to help him to understand and appreciate music and itsimportance in his life. Another purpose of teaching music is to give students somethingthey can succeed at through practice, which provides them with a sense of purpose andpride.

Music has been recognized as an important subject to build 21st century skills. Musichelps in connecting all the subjects together. Programmes designed for music in schoolshelp students to develop skills such as time management, communication, patience, andperseverance. Also, for many students, music helps them to express themselves in waysthat sitting in a classroom all day never could. The purpose of music education is to teacha universal language to students that they will be able to use no matter where they are, forthe rest of their lives.

Next it is important to consider to whom music should be taught and the role ofthe student in a musical classroom. I believe that music should be taught to anyone andeveryone without exception. Music truly is a universal language, and I believe that withenough creativity it can be taught to anyone who is willing to learn it. A student with adisability or even a student who does not speak English can be taught the fundamentalsof music and be able to appreciate its significance. Since music is a form of expression, itis very important for students to have an open mind when approaching it. Since not allstudents come into a music classroom with this kind of mindset, it is the job of theteacher to connect with them and make them interested in learning music. Although it isthe responsibility of the student to practice in order to improve, it is mostly theresponsibility of the teacher to motivate his or her students and make them want topractice and improve their skills.

Since the success of a music teacher lies in their ability to reach their students, themanner in which music is taught is quite significant. First of all, I believe that it is veryimportant for a music teacher to use many different types of teaching techniques in orderto reach as many students as possible. For example, some students learn better visually,some aurally, and some kinesthetically. It is imperative for a teacher to appeal to all ofthese different learners by using variation in his or her lessons. Also, music should betaught with passion, vigor, and life. If a student realizes how passionate a teacher is abouttheir subject matter, they may begin to wonder why and have more interest in thesubject. Although it is important to stay on task while teaching in a music classroom, Ialso think that it is important to be spontaneous. Taking a short break from a rehearsal totell a story about high school band camp or a music professor in college can be a way toconnect with students by making them realize how much music has impacted theirteacher’s life. Whenever my high school band director would tell the band stories abouthis music teachers in the past, I admired him for sharing a part of his history with us, and Iaspire to leave a legacy that my students can someday tell their students about in thefuture. Overall, I believe that the most effective way to teach music is for the teacher toshare their passion with their students and reach them by connecting with them on theirlevel.
