Secretin the School!

Larry Livingston’s Trio of Recommendations

1. Broaden the base

2. Teach so that students will be able to go on and DO music without us

3. Acknowledge and honor ALL music

1. Ideas to Broaden the Base

A. Look at Who We Are Teaching

Do our programs reflect our demographic?

Do we cater to a select few?

Do we really want more students in conservatories?

B. Maximize the “Kids and Music” Relationship

OLD: If you want to be a musician, you have to play an instrument and take lessons


18

NEW: If provided with an opportunity to study music through the exploration of the power of music in their lives, classes would be overflowing

Let’s Review. . .

1. How many students are in the music program and who are they? (Know your demographics)

2. How long will they keep “doing” music as amateurs once they leave us? (Teach musical independence)

3. Have we blessed and honored ALL music as possible and wonderful? (Be open to all genres of self-expression)

A Superlative Example of the Modern Classroom

Crespi High School Music Program


33

In Closing. . .Pablo Casals

Each second we live is a new and unique moment in the universe, a moment that never was before and will never be again.

And what do we teach our children in school? We teach them that two and two make four and that Paris is the capital of France.

We should also teach them who they are.
