KHOO HUI LING, presenter

ABOUT THE EVENT

The Learning Curve is a new and ongoing series led by Dr. Khoo Hui Ling, which explores challenging aspects of teaching and learning in music education. It is a discussion not just for educators, but for students and parents too; it tackles issues both public and private music educators may confront, raises questions students can reflect on, and discusses decisions that parents often struggle with.

‘Why Am I Learning Music?’ is the first of this series. It is a question students of all levels ask, whether out of frustration or plain curiosity. Masked behind this question are issues of motivation and learning objectives. This presentation explores the vastly different outcomes that varying answers to the above question lead to. It lays on the table approaches that educators and parents can take to nurture an environment of inspired musical learning.
