I know other parts of the country are headed back to school, but we’ve only been off for a month here in #WNY! Stop with the back to school stuff, it’s not time yet. In other news - my suPURRvisor is modeling proper #teacher behavior. #musiced #cat #mlt #giml

Excited to be teaching a pilot HYBRID Instrumental Level 1 PDLC this fall. This will be our first attempt to offer this content with a mix of online and in-person participation. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

There are several organizations around the world that are supporting teacher development using MLT and research including those in the US, Canada, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Korea. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Rather than being the focus of college professors there has been growing use of MLT as a framework for teaching and learning not only for MLT-related practices, but that of other approaches such as Orff and Kodaly. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Dr. Terry Bacon @baconterr.bsky.social · Jul 21

Fostering creativity and improvisation within musical context and guiding students to read with understanding rather than decoding are important aspects of these MLT practical applications. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Dr. Terry Bacon @baconterr.bsky.social · Jul 21

MLT itself is not a method but there are methods that have been created based on MLT.They are based on the idea that music is learned in a similar way as language & that audiation is the musical equivalent of thinking.#MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Research by Gordon, his doctoral students, and others resulted in revisions with the most recent publication in 2012.Work has continued since Gordon’s passing with an International Conference held in Chicago last week.#MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

A little about my research area. Music Learning Theory is a research-based theory of how we learn when we learn music. MLT was first proposed by Dr. Edwin Gordon from his early research on music aptitude. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
