Reflecting on the Literature - Cultural Competence in the Music Room

Have a question for the show? Text us here!

On this week’s episode I talk with Randy Ward who started his career as a professional cello player for a number of orchestras throughout the southwest United States as well as and Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic. He earned his Masters degree in Music Pedagogy and began teaching in Fairfax County in Washington D.C. He is now working on his Ph.D. at George Mason University with a focus on classism in beginning instrumental repertoire. 

One of the most important takeaways for me from our conversation was about the moments of meaning in our teaching career. These moments are pivotal for us and shapes the way we move forward. We talk about Randy’s moment of meaning as well as the importance of both culturally responsive teaching and cultural competence.
