This course equips graduate students of all disciplines to teach music history effectively to a variety of audiences. The course content ranges from the practical to the theoretical; students not only practice teaching, observe others teach, survey textbooks, and design their own syllabi, but also grapple with differing philosophies and methods of teaching. The course culminates with a symposium-style presentation of a creative pedagogical idea.
This course is open to Music Graduate students in any concentration. Undergraduate Music Majors can enroll with instructor's permission only.
