I miss this show!! I’m always learning something new and feel refreshed to go back to the classroom each time.
This is the best resource I have found for MLT. Some episodes can be listened to multiple times. I have learned so much by listening to this podcast!
Hi, I’m Ruli, PYP Music Teacher in Bogor, Indonesia.
I love your Podcast! Your explanations are very clear, the examples as well.
I tried to apply your method about improvise by hearing in my grade 2 classroom. It went well!
Thank you!
Thank you, Heather, for creating this true gem, when it comes to bringing the MLT from a theory to a practice. Although I’ve read a far few of Gordon’s books, nothing has helped me more with bringing the theory to practice in my classroom in a fun and logical way, than your podcast. Also, I keep developing my own audiation as I listen and that is just fabulous! Thanks!
This podcast should be worth college credit. My masters was done at UB under the direction of some MLT experts including Dr. Gordon himself and I find myself putting this podcast on while straightening my room. It’s nice to refresh things I already know and practice, but it’s invaluable as a source of new information and understanding.
Dr. Shouldice explains the concepts well with examples and use-cases. It’s as inspiring as it is informational. Thank you.
