Music and Content InteractionMusic and Content Interaction
•Interaction is the standard for student engagement and a critical component of learning experiences
•Music involves students in student-to-content interaction through generative learning activitiesWhich require students to be responsible for creating, elaborating, and representing domain knowledge in an organized manner.
•Through music-driven generative learning activities, students take an active role in forming new understandings through the application of learned content to the creation of musical products.
