Description

In A Pedagogy of Creation: Teaching Students to Communicate through Music, Robert Kaddouch discusses his system of musical pedagogy which approaches the act of creation as an act of communication, coining the process of creating music as an act of conductivity. Kaddouch argues teaching music requires teaching students to communicate through their music, and defines four objectives teachers must adopt in order to understand their students and help them connect and conduct through the music they create.

Reviews

Robert Kaddouch provides a highly insightful, lively, and personal portrait of the pedagogical act and its challenges. His pedagogy of creation empowers students to uncover their potential in the pleasure of music making. This approach to music pedagogy, based on improvisation, is dialogic, empathic, exploratory, and, first and foremost, deeply human. A source of inspiration for both teachers and students.
