One placement in an urban setting and the other in a suburban setting. Placements in general music, choral music, and instrumental music to fit the direction of the educator-in-training. Seminar discussion of philosophy, praxis (pedagogy and process), performance as process, the music class as performance, repertory, classroom management, ideology of the profession, and the student teaching experience as a passage from the academy to the field. Sharing from the field of the teaching of activities followed by group critique—singing games, dances, instrumental pieces and accompaniment, reading and writing lessons, etc. Curriculum development based on sequenced elements and units of study. Discussion of successes and problems of the field, including student behavior, achieving artistry through the classroom as a reflective practicum, etc. Reflection on national and New York State standards.
