Course overview

Teaching observation, co-teaching and one teaching project with defined aims and duration will be undertaken within teaching programs approved by the Program Convenor. These activities will be monitored during seminars and through a written Teaching Log outlining the candidate's implementation and evaluation of the tasks undertaken. Students will develop an understanding of best practice in current pedagogy for their instrument and will explore how to plan and deliver extended units of work as well as detailed lesson plans. Students will learn how to assess their skills as teachers and to analyse areas for personal development as musicians and teachers.
