This semester I’m observing 8 teachers, most of whom are master teachers with an organization called Musical Futures. I’ll be at each school for 1-3 weeks at a time. So I will be moving all over the UK! I’m starting in London in January then moving north and will end up in Scotland by May.
What is Musical Futures? In my words: they are a professional development organization that focuses on helping music teachers teach content and methods focused on popular music, or more generally, music that is relevant and interesting to students in elementary, middle, and high school. From their website: “Musical Futures is a not-for-profit organisation. Our vision is for a future where everybody benefits from the value of music. We want music-making to be relevant, engaging, imaginative and authentic – to keep music alive in our schools in order to nurture the creative talent of tomorrow.”
