WABI (Channel 5) reported on University of Maine music education students giving virtual lessons
WABI (Channel 5) reported on University of Maine music education students providing virtual lessons to students from Leonard Middle School in Old Town. Philip Edelman, assistant professor of music education, teamed up with Shianne Priest, director of music for the middle school, to offer the service. “We can talk about the theories of teaching until we’re blue in the face but until they actually sit down with a 7th grader and say, ‘no, you have to push this button on your trumpet to make that note,’ you know, it’s impractical,” Edelman said.
