Emergent Pedagogy

Submitted by Verolga Nix-Allen on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 2:59pm.

I didn’t finish reading the material because I did not understand it.    However,  I found the discussion in class, with the different examples and scenarios, very interesting.  In 1990 I retired from the Philadelphia Public  School System after being a Music Education Teacher for approximately 20 years. I realized that in my teaching career we were the masters of not only our class rooms but the materials we taught.  We had a Curriculum Guide but we also had the freedom to execute what was in the teaching guide.  We actually had fun and entered a 110 voice SATB choir to sing with excellence while representing our school in the Music Festival.  I realized that many school districts have dropped music in the schools.  So, I am thankful that I am not teaching in the school system now.  Instead I now have a 30 voice auditioned adult choir which demands my attention and to which I am directing the knowledge from this class.
