Welcome to the Teaching Music Today Podcast. This podcast was created by music educator Adam Calus. The podcast challenges music education practices and reflects on many different controversial issues of the field today. It means to serve to start an important dialogue that needs to be had about the current state of music education in Western Culture. Currently, there is a disconnect between how music is being taught in schools at all levels (K-12 and College/University programs) and how music currently exists in today's society. In order for current music students to be prepared for the music industry today, we need to put a firm halt to the use of practices from yesterday. In addition to challenging what exists, this podcast will also serve to create templates for change, innovation, and strategies that teachers at any point in their career can use to reflect on and add to their practice.
