Sponsored Special Session: Reframing Post-Tonal Pedagogy for the Twenty-First Century
Time: 12/Nov/2022, 10:45am–12:15pm | Location: Jackson
This alternative-format special session includes six short position papers that reconsider the what, why, and how of post-tonal pedagogy: what repertoire and theoretical concepts we teach, why we engage with these pieces and ideas, and how we teach them.
