Music Education: A Professional Choice

Dr. Lisa Maynard

In Intelligent Music Teaching, Robert Duke emphasizes the importance of effecting

change in students as teachers. On the first page of the chapter, he writes that “the purpose of

teaching is to change students.” (Duke, 159). It is for that reason that I, personally, have decided

to be a music educator; to change the lives of others. He speaks on how every lesson, class, or

rehearsal can be divided into intervals of activity.

Duke spends a lot of time in this chapter, Effecting Change, stressing the importance of

rehearsal frames. Going step by step, he speaks on the starting point of the rehearsal frame being

the target goal that the teacher is trying to achieve, and then moving forward how the teacher

uses “performance trials” in order to help their students attain the goal. Duke also gives three

different forms of rehearsal frames: Verbal Directive (One Performance Trial), Multiple

Directives (Multiple Repetitions in Context), and Decontextualization (Modification of the

Target Passage, Multiple Repetitions, Recontextualization).

In Intelligent Music Teaching, Duke discussed that changes in performance come about

through the skillful arrangement of performance tasks that are structured to accomplish a specific

goal. He states that every rehearsal has different goals and rehearsal threads.
