The Bible comments that “This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question”The book of Acts outlines the apostles’ conflicts as to whether the traditional practices of circumcision were to apply to Gentiles. Similarly, in agreement with the discussion post, the world is continuously changing, and thus people are adjusting how they conduct themselves or operate. Nonetheless, these modifications may raise many concerns due to preconceived ideas.
There are varied approaches useful in the teaching of music. Teachers rely on approaches like Orff, Dalcroze, Suzuki, and Kodaly. The best mechanism is dependent on the child’s interest and curiosity levels. Each of these methods is unique and governed by different philosophies and objectives. Also, these methods acknowledge the diversity in children and thus employ practices that impact learners to be the best listeners, creators, active participators, and producers. However, teachers will always base their tutorage on experiences, easy methods, and the ease of the teaching process.
The differences in students and their tutors require the adoption of new and better methods of knowledge acquisition. For instance, teachers should adjust their attitudes to influence positivity among learners. In most cases, tutors opt for an easy teaching method that produces minimal results due to factors such as work overload, lack of prioritizing, and poor planning. Again, music is more practical than theoretical. Therefore the teachers need to encourage engagement, which makes the class sessions active. The lessons should comprise fun and parallel tasks that ease the process of understanding of the students. Lastly, the tutors must incorporate modern technology in their classes and allow the scholars to utilize musical pieces that they relate to. Consequently, they will attain the best teaching methods that make music valuable.
