Practical procedures and materials for conducting choral ensembles at all levels of music education. Students enrolled in this course demonstrate essential choral conducting techniques, knowledge of appropriate instrumental repertoire, and the ability to analyze and synthesize chamber and orchestral music scores for conception, interpretation, rehearsal, and performance.

Lab ensemble is an essential program requirement to prepare emerging teachers for K-12 certification to strengthen vocal performance skills, as well as to develop an awareness of choral pedagogy. This repeatable course is taken during freshman and sophomore semesters while in residence at NYU New York City campus and prior to enrolling in Choral Materials, Techniques and Conducting (MPAME-UE 1429) or (MPAME-GE 2082)

Practical procedures and materials for conducting choral ensembles at all levels of music education. Students enrolled in this course demonstrate essential choral conducting techniques, knowledge of appropriate choral repertoire, knowledge of how to approach problems of diction and pronunciation of foreign languages, and the ability to analyze and synthesize choral music scores for conception, interpretation, rehearsal, and performance.

The choral rehearsal is more than just singing. This workshop provides hands-on experience with vocal and choral techniques, choral arranging and composition for various ensembles, including selection and development of repertoire, and involving students in the arranging, composing, and performing process.

The course focuses on recognizing & assessing the complex interrelationships between the city & its environment. The central problem is the alienation of urban residents from their surrounding
environments. Different frameworks for integrative analysis of human-environment relationships are used–from human ecology to geography to resilience. The intent is to re-conceptualize the city in
ways that make these phenomena explicit, & to communicate this to multiple publics. Students will also learn to conduct a quick sustainability assessment of a local neighborhood and develop a
communication plan for it.

Formal and informal methods of assessing student learning including major standardized tests, criterion references instruments, curriculum-based assessments, various observational techniques and portfolio assessments. Students will learn to use information gathered through assessment to plan or modify instruction.

Critical analysis of teaching models through observation and practice. Students will learn to organize a course, conceptualize a unit, prepare lesson plans, devise and evaluate assessments, and effectively use technology in the classroom.

This experience will enable the student to: participate in clinical education to enhance knowledge, values, and skills as a practitioner: and integrate and apply course work in the clinical setting.

This experience will enable the student to: participate in clinical education to enhance knowledge values, and skills as a practitioner; and integrate and apply all course work in the clinical setting.

This course will enable students to enhance their knowledge of upper extremities, neck, oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cavities through live video demonstration of gross dissection, live discussion, and student asynchronous class preparation using selected video and other resources. The asynchronous preparation resources will include video enactments of clinical scenarios that are relevant to the synchronous topics dealt with in class.While this is not a treatment course, the participants will discuss the clinical relevance of the anatomical structures to basic clinical problems during live interactions with the professor.

The work of mental health clinicians will be the focus of study. The complexity of the clinician’s trauma work will be considered through clinical presentation by clinicians, readings, & discussions. Topics include: the meaning & experience of trauma, interventions in clinical trauma work (such as child abuse, sexual abuse, rape, human trafficking, battering, racism, & war & its aftermath, terrorism & political action); & working with natural disasters. There will be academic autopsies of case material.

Students will explore, through improvisation, with a wide range of instruments and the voice, their personal relationship to music, music as self-expression, and music as a form of communication.Through this exploration students will develop a deeper understanding of how music is used with clients.

Culturally attuned interventions consider the sociocultural, psychological & developmental factors in treatment. Current research for clients struggling with addictions & those involved in judicial proceedings will be shared. Communities impacted by social injustices & art therapy methodology to effectively, legally & ethically serve these specialized populations will be discussed. Engaging clients to address trauma & violence needs a broad lens that also includes issues of societal inequality. Guest lectures will supplement course learning.
