The practical, placement experience allows you to become a beginner all over again by learning a ‘new’ instrument during this term, recreating the feelings experienced by beginners.
Reflections on this experience will inform and shape your approach to teaching in placement contexts.
You will also observe school children in the early stages of learning to sing and will reflect on how the observations relate to their personal experience during the module. Various repertoire, aural tests, scales and sight reading will be included in a broad exploration of assessment, and discussions will cover the pressures or constraints that exams place on students.
