Customer Reviews
Worth listening again and again!
If you are wanting to learn more about MLT and how to put it into practice, or just looking for new ideas, this podcast is one to keep coming back to! I love how Dr Shouldice goes through concepts step by step, demonstrating how students learn. It is much easier to understand and put into practice than it would be if it was simply an explanation of ideas. I’ve already started implementing much of what I’ve learned in my classroom and private lessons with great results. The kids love it and I feel like I’m less worried about keeping the students engaged and my lessons flow much more smoothly.
Approachable and Engaging
This is such a great podcast. I recommend it for all who wish to learn more about Music Learning Theory (MLT) in an approachable and engaging way. Dr. Shouldice breaks down topics in ways that serve as wonderful jumping off points for the listeners.
Great podcast
Heather’s Everyday Musicality podcast is great in every way. She describes MLT concepts in a way that is clear, understandable, and accurate to Gordon’s writings. It’s been great to be able to listen to these episodes on-the-go or around the house. Thank you for this valuable resource, Heather!
