No need for words at all to 'correct'. Listen, model, repeat. Neither do we need constantly 'talk to your partner about how you think it went'. Less talking, more music making.

‘researchers often forget that there is no such thing as a creativity test. Tests provide only estimates of creative potential. Authentic creative behavior requires spontaneity, so if a student is required to take a test, the result is not really indicative of “creativity.”

“Debates on music in education continue to be fractured and fractious; preconceived ideas about music education remain unchallenged; and learning to play a musical instrument continues to be promoted as the pathway to ‘good’ music.” (Mary Stakelum, Understanding Music Education)

The idea of a general music education (music making and thinking in context) with scope for critical thought about music continues to be marginalised by the idea of making musicians through instrumental training.

What about the music education workforce? Many commentators have been vocal in the ongoing problems and issues. They remain in abundance. Without a skilled, trained, and loyal workforce the NPME will be doomed. I see little evidence in the new plan of its importance. /20
Important thread from @nigelmtaylor. Looking forward to the finished blog.
Music education in England is a mess. I’ve thought it for some time. Having watched this @ace_national briefing several times I have become even more alarmed. youtube.com/watch?v=IVOEade5… /1

If you know any young people (especially from Black or Brown communities) who are interested in getting into writing about music (industry/album reviews/education/think pieces), please drop me a DM.
The brilliant Samantha Coates demonstrates brilliantly and hilariously "WHY MNEMONICS DO NOT WORK" for teaching note reading. If you are a music teacher still doing this, I hope you will take heed @DrFautley @KodalyUK I think you'll appreciate this one. youtube.com/watch?v=7rwU8xlE…
