Wk 3: Think Out Loud #2 - Publishing/Leadership ProjectI have decided to take the advocacy angle as I develop my presentation for the OMEA (Ohio Music Educators Association) conference. I feel that music is a study that should be valued in its’ own right, but helping others understand the strong connections that it has with other disciplines, especially that of reading literacy will help its’ continued existence in the public schools even in spite of threatening budget cuts. The elements of music such as expression (dynamics, articulation, etc) and rhythm share a strong link with the reading literacy elements of fluency: rate, automaticity and prosody.
I still have a long way to go to finalizing my project, but the direction and layout has been established. I expect this week will be one that will allow me to focus a lot of attention to the success of this project.
