Music for All Podcast NetworkRecruiting and Retaining Students & SEL | Angela Ammerman on Teaching SEL Through MusicIn this episode, Scott speaks with Angela Ammerman: Music Teacher Trainer at George Mason University!
Music IS social. Music IS emotional. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in the music classroom capitalizes on the power of music education to help our students build the competencies of IDENTITY (self-awareness & self-management), BELONGING (social-awareness & relationship management), and AGENCY (responsible decision-making). SEL must be intentionally embedded in musical instruction. It should never feel like “one more thing” or a box to check; it should simply feel like great music teaching meeting our students’ needs. We put SEL center stage!

Often times, we should be trying to facilitate our students’ skill surpassing our own.
