“Does the world say that you don’t look the right way? Does the world say a that you’re just not enough.” Text written by this week’s guest Kyle Pederson. One of the most powerful tools educators have is the connection of our content to the personal experiences of students.
Composer Kyle Pederson is a big advocate for “co-creation” in Music classrooms. This includes the more intuitive ways like empowering singers to be involved in the creative process (composing, text-writing, etc)…but in more subtle ways too, like finding opportunities in the rehearsal for students to insert original text, or even just come to a group decision about what “story” they are telling with the piece.
In several of his scores, Kyle provides space/time for singers to include narration/spoken word…which provides more opportunity for conversation in their choral classroom, and more opportunity for singers to lean into their own creativity. In this episode, we discuss this process and its benefits for young people. We even have a brief discussion of modern politics toward the end, so stick around for that!
As always, I hope you find something useful here!
