Creativity in the Fundamentals classroom

Timothy Chenette

Hi all,

I am working with a graduate student on a research project investigating ways of fostering creativity in online post-secondary music education. Before we think about online education, we'd like to get some information on what people are doing to foster creativity in their traditional face-to-face classes, particularly in fundamentals. Beyond the general idea of composition projects, how do you foster creativity?

Thanks!

Tim

Hi Tim,

Great question. If you haven't come across it already, Danny Stevens turned me on to this book that has some cool projects that might be suitable for fundamentals/non-majors courses:
