Music Teaching Philosophy 音乐教学理念
How my inter-disciplinary identity has influenced my teaching
I believe that teaching is a lifelong learning process where we, as a teacher, learn new strategies, ideas, and philosophies over the years and actively share them with our students and colleagues. I believe that teachers are successful if they label themselves as lifelong learners. My continuous learning in pedagogy and music education allows me to inspire music students to cross-applying their music knowledge into their everyday life.
My Goal as a Music Teacher
I believe it is important for a teacher to be open-minded and inspirational, bringing a positive attitude and high expectation to the classroom daily. Students' critical thinking and active learning may contribute more than their knowledge in the lesson outline. My job as a teacher is to inspire students to succeed, helping them achieve their highest potential in their field and beyond. As a teacher, I aim to motivate my students to develop their own sense of learning and interest. My experience performing and working with an individual worldwide has made me aware of the needs and interests of people with different cultural and ethnically diverse music education scenes.
My Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy and strategies contribute to their learning throughout their course. Students' development of a critical understanding of music and reflection upon our music performance and musicianship are goals for my teaching. It is important to leave students with transferable skills, inspiration, and lasting epiphanies with a practical method. I choose repertoires, etudes, musicianship techniques, and important and challenging activities for students to think beyond their practice learning process. Inclusive learning involves teachers' flexibility in-class delivery and considering the best interest of the students, given their strengths and weakness.
When women are underrepresented in the classical music industry, I believe that my experiences, such as various performances and productions involving classical orchestras, Asian instrumentalists, and other indigenous musicians, promote the possibility of diversification, allowing students to explore the possibility of including interdisciplinary perspective with gender, ethnicity, and classical music, in the Canadian music scene.
Teaching is to leave a legacy for the next generation. I believe that every music student has his/ her uniqueness in developing knowledge. My role is to act as a guide to facilitate knowledge creation and performance opportunities to put their practice and learning to students' full potential.
Inspire students and their families to enjoy life, sharing our weekly music learning to their everyday life to the fullest.
我的教学宗旨
我相信教学是一个终身学习的过程,作为一名教师,我们多年来学习新的策略、想法和哲学,并积极与我的学生和同事分享。我相信,如果教师将自己标榜为终身学习者,他们就是成功的。我在教育学和音乐教育方面的不断学习,使我能够激励音乐专业的学生将他们的音乐知识交叉应用到他们的日常生活中。
我作为音乐老师的目标
我认为,对于一名教师来说,思想开放、鼓舞人心、积极的态度和对课堂的每一天都抱有很高的期望是很重要的。学生的批判性思维和主动学习可能比我们在课程大纲中提供的知识贡献更多。作为老师,我的工作是激励学生取得成功,帮助学生实现并发挥他们在各自领域及其他领域的最大潜力。作为一名教师,我的目标是激励我的学生培养自己的学习意识和兴趣。我在世界各地与个人一起表演和工作的经历使我意识到具有不同文化和种族多元化音乐教育背景的人们的需求和兴趣。
我的教学理念
我的教学理念和策略有助于他们在整个课程中的学习。学生对音乐的批判性理解以及对我们的音乐表演和音乐修养的反思是我教学的目标。重要的是要通过实用的方法让学生掌握可转移的技能、灵感和持久的顿悟。我选择重要且具有挑战性的曲目、练习曲、音乐技巧和活动,让学生在实践学习过程之外进行思考。全纳学习涉及教师在课堂教学中的灵活性,并考虑到学生的长处和短处的最大利益。
当女性在古典音乐行业中的代表性不足时,我相信我的经验,如涉及古典管弦乐队、亚洲东方乐器演奏家和本土歌手及其乐队的各种表演和制作,促进了多元化的可能性,让学生探索包括在内的可能性加拿大音乐界的性别、种族和古典音乐的跨学科视角。
教学是为了给下一代留下遗产。我相信每个音乐学生在发展知识方面都有他/她的独特之处。我的角色是充当向导,促进知识创造和表现机会,让他们的实践和学习充分发挥学生的潜能。
鼓励学生和他们的家人享受生活,用我们每周的音乐学习融合到他们的日常生活中, 实现人生。
