Studio Teaching 2 is a subject focused on instrumental and vocal teaching in the private and commercial studio settings, which further builds upon students’ musical skills and knowledge within this context.
Placement
Students are required to complete 15-hours of work experience. Students will be involved in further formal observations of best studio practice, with established teachers, in a range of private and commercial music studios throughout Melbourne in consultation with the Victorian Music Teachers’ Association (VMTA) and other providers. This second work experience will focus on Intermediate level learners and students will have the opportunity to observe specific teaching approaches, methodologies and implementation strategies.
Through participation in compulsory seminars and workshops, students will continue to develop their knowledge and understanding of studio music programs though devising a series of planned learning activities, highlighting their familiarity with age-appropriate resources and repertoire; developing specific teaching strategies for intermediate and advanced learners; exploring a range of teaching tools including the effective integration of ICT, ways to motivate and encourage students through the use of effective feedback and assessing student progress.
Students will have the opportunity to develop practical teaching skills through planning, implementing and evaluating lessons with the opportunity to receive detailed feedback from peers and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music academic staff.
