Music Teaching Foundations with Dr Jennifer Blackwell
Boost your studio teaching with AMEB’s first teaching skills video
Music Teaching Foundations, the first video in AMEB’s new Teaching Skills Video series, is now available on demand via the SCORE website. Presented by internationally respected educator Dr Jennifer Blackwell, this 30-minute video explores how people learn and how to apply key learning theories directly to studio music teaching.
Whether you’re an experienced teacher or new to the studio, this video will help you reflect on your approach and refine your practice. Dr Blackwell covers prominent learning theories and translates them into real-world, practical strategies that can make your lessons more engaging and effective.
You’ll learn:
- • How leading theories of learning apply to music education
- • Practical strategies for structuring lessons, building rapport, modelling skills and more
- • What works—and what doesn’t—when teaching in a one-on-one setting
At just $21.95, this accessible and affordable resource is a smart investment in your professional development. Once you complete the video and a short questionnaire, you’ll receive a personalised PD certificate, which links to the relevant Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
Studio music teaching is a unique space—make sure your approach is grounded in the latest research and best practice. Visit SCORE now to access Music Teaching Foundations and strengthen the way you teach.
