What is Mastership?
A mastership program differs from a workshop. Students who enroll in
a mastership program have an active role. They are responsible for
learning the material offered, for teaching with a high degree of
competence, and for demonstrating their understanding of the method by
writing lesson plans.
Who Should Attend a Mastership Course?
Early childhood, elementary, middle school and high school music
teachers, musicians, professional performers, and music education
students who are interested in furthering their understanding of
audiation and enhancing their teaching through an audiation approach
are eligible to participate in Mastership. The framework for all
classes in the certification course will be provided by music learning
theory, developed by Edwin E. Gordon. Unique practical applications
of the theory and its use in early childhood, elementary general, and
instrumental music will be presented by faculty who are experienced in
teaching classes based on music learning theory. Students who enroll
in Level 1 Mastership should have completed at least one music
learning theory workshop or seminar prior to enrollment. Students who
enroll in Level 2 must hold Early Childhood Level 1 Certification.
Contact Michael E. Martin, 610-527-6138 (e mail
[email protected]) for
further information. All participants must be able to read and write
music.
