If you have any questions, please visit our conference website or contact us at conference@popularmusiceducation.org We look forward to coming together as a community June 4–7, 2025.
What does it mean to practice? We tell our students, “It’s Important “ “It is a requirement for the class” “It is important to the ensemble “ YES…all of these things are true. But when and how do students learn how to do this ? Who teaches them ? How do we engage students in learning that practicing their instrument or voice is more than just a chore or requirement for your class or ensemble. Using narratives from students from my school we will discuss what practicing means to them and the work that our music department is doing to model and encourage engaged practicing!
