What is Critical Listening? Critical listening skills are the skills students (and people) should be using to actively listen to a piece of music and pick it apart into components. In this episode, we begin to dig into what it means to critically listen to something, and how you, as the music teacher, is responsible for helping guide students into that ability.

Using Uplevel U: Music's newly released "Critical Listening for the General Music Classroom" resource, it has never been easier to help students attain this skill and for you to enjoy their journey.

First, big apologies for the break. There were definitely some extenuating circumstances. The last few weeks have taught me some serious life lessons, and I want to share that with you in this episode, from the point of view of the busy teacher.

This content really wasn't what I had in mind, obviously, as you will understand, but the message and the three life lessons I'll be speaking about I hope will inspire you to do the same when life throws you curveballs.

Today's episode focuses a little bit on the dire circumstance of vocal health in today's students. Like many other health issues, it's easy to say that children are a little immortal, or that "it won't happen to them" or that it is likely to only happen to the singers that tour, rehearse and practice for hours a day.

But that isn't true.

Isn't that what happens during the last few weeks of the musical? Aren't students singing for hours each day?

Voice issues and vocal nodes are issues that can happen to anyone, and it's our responsibility as music teachers to help students sing safely and pain-free, and to help them understand what that all means.

Special Announcement! ⁠⁠How to Teach Your Students to Use Fakebooks and Lead Sheets⁠ has been released as another one of our Free or Low-Cost Resources.
