Teaching Social Emotional Learning Through Music - PODCAST
Dr. Don MacMannis realizes that Music IS social. Music IS emotional. Musical Social Emotional Learning (MSEL) capitalizes on the power of music education to help our students build the competencies of self (self-awareness & self-management), others (social awareness and relationship management), and decisions (responsible decision-making). Music for All.
As educators, we can help our students develop SEL skills by using music to:
- encouraging students to set their own musical goals
- devising solutions for individual or group errors
- navigating performance anxiety
- understanding the power of music for social change
Music education helps our students learn how to be dedicated, to persevere, and to work together. It is our job to help students see that these skills are not isolated to the music classroom. These are the skills they need to be successful outside of music and to confront their challenges with strength and skill. Music can be the preventative mental health our students need so they have the skills to confront the life challenges ahead of them.
