This processfolio began with the question, “How has this master’s program enhanced or altered my perceptions and approaches toward music teaching and learning?” My experience in this master’s program has sharpened and enlarged my perceptions and approaches toward music teaching and learning in the areas of pedagogical practice, technological skills, teacher dispositions, and self-confidence in numerous ways. This transformational process of sharpening and enlarging has ultimately resulted in a more defined sense of purpose and mission, higher emphasis on personal and professional disciplines, and greater precision and attention to detail that continuously fuels my efforts.
The “sharpening” projects me into a new career with more carefully constructed, purposeful plans toward professional and personal success. The “enlarging” gives me a wider audience of students of varying skills, ages, and disciplines, as well as a broader horizon of new personal music endeavors. I am inspired and take action to investigate, learn, and practice new ideas, skills, and information that will continue to define and increase the dimensions of my music and music education experience.
