With adaptation comes failing, being open to new aspects of teaching, knowing how to make music meaningful to students, and being aware of the past, current, and future status of music education. With this acquired knowledge, I can improve the music education experience of my students and provide an inclusive and expansive music making environment that fosters effective relationships. Through this program I have learned how to be an effective educator that cares about the student experience and seeks to enlighten students perception of the importance of music and its transferability to daily life. My goal as an educator is to empower my future students, provide them with experiences in music that they can transfer to their future lives, and immerse them in a music environment that fosters creativity and a! esthetic experiences.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USUO theses and dissertations are provided for research and educational purposes and may be under copyright by the author or the author’s heirs.
