Context
No two students learn the same way; therefore, no two students should be taught the same way. As simple as that may sound, there are many areas to be considered when developing context in the classroom. Each student differs in education level, personal experiences, home environment, and temperament; as such, each student, from the front row to the back row, must be acknowledged and sought out in the context of a lesson.
As an educator, I must be aware of the multiple worlds of my students so that I may address any concerns that may arise. Moreover, I must be able and willing to adapt to my students and understand their needs in the classroom. As a music educator, it is important to approach my lesson plans through various mediums. Whether it's through history and culture, having the children compose and arrange their own music, or performing concerts of varying style and repertoire with my students, I hope to instill in my students skills that they can carry into disciplines outside the arts.
