My Understanding of Education Through Music Mariah Burt

Mission Statement To foster the well being and development of children and their caregivers, through the study of song and play, promoting this central value in communities everywhere.” To foster the well being and development of children and their caregivers, through the study of song and play, promoting this central value in communities everywhere.” -Richards Institute

Education Through Music (ETM) A language based program in which song, movement and interactive play promote emotional, social, cognitive, and musical development.

What is ETM? ETM is the study of artful teaching and the process of learning. Based on English language songs, it is designed to promote the study of sound and the acquisition of language. Together with movement, these build the imagaic system and symbolization process, thereby laying the foundation for the building of intelligence.

Procedural vs. Declarative Knowledge Procedural Problem solving Problem solving Thought process Thought process Requires bi- hemispheric functioning Requires bi- hemispheric functioningDeclarative Lists of facts Lists of facts Times tables Spelling words Does not require bi- hemispheric functioning *Children who live a a world of solely declarative knowledge struggle to unfold their entire knowledge. Example: 3 rd grader who can memorize times tables, but cannot process A problem and sort out how it functions its procedures.
