Chapter One, Question Two

Take a moment to write down some of the tenets of your personal philosophy of music education. Based on these tenets, discuss your view of the role of assessment of general music and its importance to general music teaching.

Tenets: self-discovery, student empowerment, performance, 4MAT

Assessing students is difficult because each student has their own individual personality. Some students enjoy performance and other do not. However i feel it is necessary to assess a student's learning by performing it. I also think a great way is to teach other students, that way they are strengthening their skill and communication. I also believe students should take what they learned and adapt it to their world. Put the material in another song or other form in class.
