Co-Constructing Curriculum: Musical Experiences in Students’ Lives

This project explores co-constructing a music curriculum by integrating students' lives and experiences. Utilizing "Studio Workshops," large group discussions, and collaborative learning, we emphasize authentic musical creation and reflection. Students engage in holistic practices through listening, jamming, and using various technological resources like the Listening Studio and Recording Studio for creativity and assessment. Our goal is to foster self-directed learning and informal music practices, guided by theories from educators like Bruner and Dewey, to build an engaging and relevant music education experience.
