Teaching for Cultural Relevance through Music Repertoire is a four-day workshop designed for school instrumental, choral, and general music teachers at all education levels in which issues of diversity are addressed through performance repertoire. In collaboration with the UW-Madison Summer Music Clinic (Junior High Session), the workshop includes discussion of diversity issues addressed in selected repertoire, score analysis, lesson planning, and teaching approaches that are inclusive and representative of culturally relevant pedagogy. The participants will observe the clinicians as they work with the Clinic ensembles, and will work in individualized sessions/seminars to discuss pedagogy issues, to teach/conduct their group of peers performing in ensembles, and to explore conducting issues. The workshop sessions will be presented by UW-Madison professors Teryl Dobbs (band), Janet Jensen (strings), and Deborah Bradley (choir). This program is funded in part by the UW-Madison Anonymous Fund. (UW Credit and Continuing Education Unit options available). More information on this program will be available in Nov. 2009.
