Peter Gouzouasis, Professor in Music Education, Department of Curriculum & Pedagogy will share a research based, hands-on workshop in early childhood music.
The workshop will focus on research informed practices that were developed in the 1980s when there was a renewed interest in early childhood music education that came from the work of graduate students who studied with Professor Edwin Gordon at Temple University and Professor Barbara Andress at Arizona State University. Those practices form the foundation of present day, commercially available training programs in early childhood music as well as contemporary teaching and learning materials.
We’ll focus on music and movement in informal, structured and unstructured settings in a variety of tonalities and meters using a plethora of techniques. Rationales for these practices will be supported with research findings, and contemporary research approaches in early childhood music will also be shared.
