Novice music teachers and music education students struggle to form an identity that synthesizes "musician" with "music teacher," and to separate themselves from their prior experiences to think critically about music-making and music instruction. Throughout this text, readers are encouragedto both reject and reflect upon their prior experience and are provided with new frameworks of understanding about both music-making and music instruction, as they form a new personal philosophy of musicianship and pedagogy. Ultimately, the purpose of this text is to provide foundational knowledgefor subsequent learning as students become both musician and music pedagogue. | An Orientation to Musical Pedagogy by Birch P.
