Customer Reviews
So helpful for MLT learners
These episodes cover a wide variety of MLT topics for teachers, including background theory, specific practical activities to try, and even help acculturating yourself to different tonalities and meters. So much helpful content. Thank you Heather!
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.
