Sustaining the Flame: (Re)Igniting Joy in Teaching Music

Abstract: Teaching music is an act of vulnerability. Our connections with music and with our students give our jobs—and perhaps our lives—value and purpose. However, these connections are also why it hurts so much when we feel undervalued or attacked. In this article, I describe research-supported strategies for nurturing courage, peace, and resilience and also suggest habits of thinking and action that could sustain or even (re)ignite our joy in teaching music.

“…Engagement in music learning can be hampered by several different aspects that are specific to classroom music lessons; for example, while the teacher and students are engaged with various activities, such as singing, playing instruments and rhythmic movement, the teacher is presented with logistical dilemmas and the need for group conformity among students of various talent and skill levels. Due to large numbers of students, the potential noise level and additional extracurricular responsibilities, such as performances, festivals and competitions, teaching music may be more stressful (Synder, 1998;Byo & Sims, 2015;Salvador, 2019). An additional aspect to consider is the assessment of pupils' musical development; since the concepts of musicality differ, teachers grade different aspects.…”

“…Audio is a signal that changes slowly with time. The STFT can divide a long-term signal into frames, and perform Fourier transform on each frame to express the characteristics of the audio signal at a certain time ( Salvador, 2019 ). The equation for performing short-time Fourier transform on the source signal x ( t ) is as follows.…”
