CREATIVE TEACHING FOR CREATIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER ACADEMIC MUSIC EDUCATION

Monday 13 May 2013, 10am to 4pm
Music Department, University of York (The Rymer Auditorium)

Music colleagues are invited to this seminar which is organised and hosted by music colleagues at the University of York and which is funded by The Higher Education Academy as part of its discipline workshop and seminar series.

SEMINAR OUTLINE
Creativity and creative skills are recognised as key attributes for music students. This event will bring together higher music education colleagues to learn about, share and discuss their experiences of teaching creatively to facilitate creative learning, focusing on the processes and techniques of creative teaching, particularly those connected to academic, rather than practical learning.

The event will:
- explore and explain how lecturers conceptualise creativity;
- demonstrate how music lecturers construct their academic teaching to develop creative skills in students;
- provide significant insights into our understanding of the intersection of creative teaching and creative learning.

The seminar will explore creative teaching in higher music learning focusing on academic (rather than practical) areas, although there will inevitably be some overlap as practical work and composition will be discussed within the parameters of academic teaching.

The event will feature presentations from Keynote speaker: Dr Pamela Burnard (Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge); Invited speakers working in higher music education: Dr Peter Argondizza & Ruth Slater (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland), Tim Palmer & Abigail Longden (Trinity Laban Conservatoire), Dr Ambrose Field (University of York), Dr Mark Hutchinson (University of York), and a reflective student feedback session.
