Music PedagogyScope Note

For anyone who has studied music the transition from student to teacher can be

especially rewarding. It can also be difficult and confusing. Just knowing and understanding

music is not enough to be able to impart that knowledge on someone else. The art of teaching

(called pedagogy) for music is especially difficult because there are several very different facets,

all of which are equally important. These facets include technique, theory, history, and

performance. This pathfinder focuses on different sources for music pedagogy in general to

help the up and coming music teacher start on his/her new career.
