Abstract
-
The purpose of this action research study is to determine how utilizing culturally responsive teaching strategies (CRP) to invoke an emotional connection to music enhances musical performances and educational music outcomes. How can students draw from their personal experiences through CRP to enhance their emotional connection to the music they play and their performances? The primary goal of this project is to connect emotional understanding through SEL and CRP to musical concepts and performances to convey a depth and breadth of student understanding. My teaching goals are to inspire students to be creative and take agency within their music-making to provide emotionally charged performances at a high level. Being culturally relevant to students has a large impact on student success and learning outcomes. Engaging with enhanced lessons that are culturally relevant can help engage students to understand the concepts at a deeper level. For music students, this can lead to better engagement and emotionally charged performances.
