Word of the Week: BRAIN
As I exercise my brain extensively each day of my internship, I realize how much effort it takes to help others exercise their brains as well. Knowing that mental workouts are tough, I decided to research some ways I learn best. I stumbled across an article about jazz teachers, and was happily surprised with how accurate the descriptions of teaching styles are to my previous jazz directors and private teachers.
Last week I spent a significant amount of time learning about teaching adapted lessons, and I think that the tools used for teaching jazz can be very helpful for teaching anyone music. The article I am sharing can help music teachers help any student of music to use his or her brain to its fullest capacity.
