    Episode 13: Emo Rap and Journaling: A New Foundation for Social-Emotional Learning

    Send us a text This episode is a reading of an article previously published in the Massachusetts Music Educators Journal, titled “Emo Rap and Journaling: A New Foundation for Social-Emotional Learning” and reprinted in NAfME’s Teaching Music in the State Opus column.  Excerpt: “As we know all too well, the social isolation caused by the COVID-19 has had a profound effect on our students. There have been several published studies stating that depression and anxiety among K-12 students has skyrocketed since March 2020…With the power of music, we have the ability to not only address these debilitating conditions with students, but to teach students how to reflect on their social-emotional state, and to use music as an outlet and a powerful vehicle towards healing…Once I explained the idea of catharsis, my students instantly agreed that Emo Rap was a way for them to release feelings of sadness, loss, and angst.”  Check out the printed article below:  Printed Article

Throughout this article, I will be sharing student work and different project ideas you can incorporate into your own curriculum.” This episode also includes student examples that are included as “figures” in the electronic publication.  Check out the printed article below: Printed Article

    Send us a text This episode is a reading of an article previously published in the Massachusetts Music Educators Journal, titled “Sounds from a Painted World: a Collaboration of the Visual Arts and Music”.  Excerpt: “Outside of academia, we see the Visual Arts and Music presented quite frequently together, in cinema, album artwork and music videos.
