Teaching students to think independently requires a reexamination of ingrained cultural biases. This demonstration will discuss some of the ways in which curricular structures, creative projects, and collaborative experiences in popular music education may be designed to interrupt the feedback loop of social normalization and foster independent artistic thinking.
In teaching performance, we rely on conceptual analysis to assess and feedback on performance quality. But audiences experience performance as something far more immediate and visceral. In this talk, I discuss a method for measuring audience experience as a series of visceral responses. But is this valid or hopelessly flawed?
