wk 2 Video

Being a conductor of several performing musical groups, I totally understand this videos' message. As a conductor, it’s all about the students. I no longer get to have the fun of performing the music in front of a crowd during a concert (which is what drew me to the field), but the experience I have is equally great. I get to show them the door to a musical experience, arm them with the necessary tools, and then just watch it happen. It’s an amazing experience.

This reminds me of the Thomas Carruthers quote: “A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.” I strive to empower my students to take control of any and every aspect of their learning – to allow for the possibility Zander mentions.

On a critical note, it seems like the video was edited, and somewhat crudely. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a full version of the speech. Thanks!!
