Performers for Change and Sound Off: Music for Bail present Dr. Fredara Hadley, ethnomusicologist and professor of music history at the Juilliard School in a 30 minute talk and Q & A session on the Pedagogy of Now.
Dr. Hadley writes, "Teaching is a living and breathing practice. As such, it shifts, adapts, and evolves to meet the needs of the people and the demands of the time. This is my philosophy of teaching - to create a space in which the lines between teacher and learner remain malleable and one where the goal is to ask better questions of ourselves and our world. At its core, teaching is an invitation to remember what was and also to imagine what could be. It is from the seats of curiosity and exploration from which all decisions of pedagogy and learning mechanics are made."
