Take a look at my musical body map that I created in Music class!
Interested in doing this with your class? Here are some of the prompts I followed to take me on my journey:
- Draw an outline of yourself.
- Add features which indicate who you are (e.g., hair, eyes).
- Where do you come from?
- Describe a recent experience where you encountered music. Consider… Where were you? Who was with you? How did it make you feel?
- How would you describe your music interests?
- What do you know about music?
- What do you want to know about music?
- How do you feel about being here… in a class, learning about how to teach music?
- Who has influenced your musical experiences?
- What is one of your most favorite musical moments?
- Have you ever had a negative experience with music? If so, what do you recall about this?
- What do you remember about music in elementary school?
- Have you told this music story before?
- What kind of music teacher would you like to be?
- How can your prior knowledge help you succeed in this class?
