When did the music that is listened to by students become so distanced from the music that is taught in school? During the classical period, where teachers still teaching music from the Baroque period? During the early 20th century, were teachers still teaching music from the classical period? As we have read, this disconnection has been documented and critiqued as far back as the early 1900's from John Dewey. How can we as teachers undo so many years of teaching that is disconnected from the students and community in which they live? How are the ideas that we are taught to embrace at Westminster going to create a positive reform in music education when people as far back as Dewey have been trying, and we've only come this far? What more can we do, as music education students, to make a difference instead of just "waiting 'till we can get out there?"
