I found the Uke class very informative, fun, and a great learning experience. I learned a lot about teaching and things I want to strive to do when I am teaching. For example, I liked that he talked about how every lesson can have an arch to it, even half-hour lessons. This made me think about how even half-hour lessons can be impactful and important. I also think it showed the effort we should put into our lessons and how we should plan them to more impactful. I also think planning them to come full circle will make lessons more organized and have a direction. This can make it easier to complete the goal you were trying to achieve with the lesson. I also thought he had a nice balance of listening and playing. I always find this to be a more impactful way to learn. I also thought it helped engage us and kept the students from zoning out or losing interest. I also really liked that he gave us an outline of what we were going to do and went over it with us. I think this helped us to be more focused because we knew the direction in which we were headed and the end goal. I found he engaged and interacted with the class. He took our suggestions about monster mash and the lyrics for the song we made together. This made me feel like he really cared about what he was teaching and the students as well. I also found it impactful that when we asked for a song to play along to he would play it even if it had different chords than we learned and might have been more challenging. I think it showed that he had faith that we could do it and believed in us. It was nice that he didn't limit us because he thought it would be too hard. He did not back down from the challenge and to not be afraid to fail by doing so. I think that is a very important thing to teach your students and it’s best taught by example. I found it very impactful when he said it’s important to teach students that it is okay to mess up and to succeed. I never thought about “it's okay to succeed” before and that it might be an issue for some students. I also liked that he talked about the history of the uke because it gave me a wider perspective and gave me a new respect for the instrument I was playing. I also liked that he talked about having a structure and marking on that structure. Like saying “does it have a chorus and verse?” And marking off of that. I also enjoyed working with and talking to the teachers that came. The teacher in my group was very supportive of us wanting to be teachers and wished us the best. It was refreshing to meet another music teacher who was passionate about her job. Overall, I loved the class and learned a lot from it that I will hopefully apply to my teaching when I become a teacher.
