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.
Advanced preparation is absolutely necessary. Purchase required materials early and prepare for the workshop by reading, taking notes, and practicing singing, chanting, and moving in a variety of tonalities, meters, and styles. See the BOOKS and MATERIALS list below.
