Teaching Popular Music in the Classroom explores approaches to teaching popular music from culturally rich communities in the United States. Students in the course will learn teaching methods that engage youth with the basics of improvisation, technology, songwriting, arranging film score, and writing to the strengths of small bands. The course models how to integrate principles of authentic cultural relevance and positive youth development with contemporary music instruction, while providing tools for assessing and documenting learning and program progress. Students in the course will refine their own pedagogical skills, applying principles of contemporary music instruction. Content and approaches are intended for secondary music programs, but can be adapted for elementary grade levels. All lessons are based in core standards for music education with recommendations for assessments.

A well-thought-out course that dwells into the formalization of the music education ecosystem with assessments, technology, and lesson objectives.

Excellent course! Great for educators. Enables and with various ideas and concepts guides the teacher on what to focus and what course of action to take in a lesson. The course takes into account one's culture without putting any one idea or style on a pedestal which everyone has to follow.
Excellent work, thanks for sharing, this course gives me tools to work with my students remotely and when possible in person
I highly recommend this course for music teachers! Many interesting thoughts and great approach to different topics.
It's an opportunity to step out of the box and create a culture of open-minded music educators.

It gives valuable points to take in consideration for teaching.
Great for teachers with experience or for people who want to teach in the future.
The downside is the final project. It took me two weeks to get it reviewed, it was frustrating.
Thank you for the course! It was short, but I had some ideas during that for my own experience. I expected a bit more, but I guess, it is ok.
Nice course and very good instructors
The course is really nice however I feel it was lacking some depth. I am talking in comparison with other Berklee courses offered on Coursera (on other topics) and which offer many more insights and learning opportunities.
Video tutorials covering apps could be a bit more.
The course covered a wide range of topics related to music education, including assessment and rubrics. I appreciated how the instructors emphasized the importance of using rubrics to evaluate student progress and provide feedback on their work. Overall, I feel much more confident in my ability to teach popular music in the classroom thanks to this course. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their teaching skills!
Excellent course! Teaching Improvisation, working with and setting up an ensemble, basics of improvisation, technology, songwriting, arranging, using DAW for both recording tracks as well as used for rehearsal backing tracks, teaching the wide cultures of music across the U.S.
Me gustó mucho el curso, me mostró recursos que no había implementado en mis clases y la forma en cómo tener control y creatividad en la clase de ensamble.
el curso es excelente, muchas gracias por permitirme hacer este curso, me gustaria mucho que estuviera subtitulado a español todo el curso.
