  1       A Very Inspiring Method of Dancing   Jake Guenoun   When I first joined the Methodology of Teaching Dance class, I really did not know what to expect. I was very nervous because I had never danced in front of people before and I never really learned how to express myself through dance, because I always believed that there were certain or specific ways that it needed to be done. After 4 months, I can confidently say that I now understand the methods of teaching dance and how to give a proper lesson to any group of people.

  John Dewey: America's philosopher of democracy and his importance to education   John Dewey on Music Education   In Dewey’s model, art isn’t a thing, it’s an experience (though a thing might be the catalyst for the experience.) The work of art isn’t so much the painting or string quartet as it is the experience of the painting or string quartet. That experience depends completely on the social context both of the work’s creation and of its audience. We shouldn’t ask, “what is art?” but rather “when is art?” Dewey saw art not as something existing separately from everyday life, but as existing on a continuum with mundane pleasures. The Stanford Encyclopedia: Dewey then argues that we must begin with the aesthetic “in the raw” in order to understand the aesthetic “refined.” To do this we must turn to the events and scenes that interest the man-in-the-street such as the sounds and sights of rushing fire-engines, the grace of a baseball player, and the satisf...
