While evolving, the delivery methods engage students in the quality curriculum they expect from MSU, while working around the loss of in-person experiences.
“At the same time, it’s been shocking and challenging to convert courses that were planned for a face-to-face format, and to lose access to seeing our colleagues and students.”īuilding on lessons learned from the March shut-down through summer, Music Theory faculty have combined tireless ingenuity, cross-collaboration, and pure Spartan grit to provide a structure for virtual learning. “There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that it was the right call for health and safety reasons,” said Area Chair Michael Callahan. Not a single student will set foot on campus for music theory instruction, helping ensure community well-being during the time of COVID-19. This fall, the Music Theory Area will lead a combination of 17 courses, labs and seminars via remote learning and communication technologies. But as the pandemic necessitates remote learning, music theory teachers in the MSU College of Music set out to create a workable ideal. Converting in-person, hands-on learning to a virtual experience isn’t ideal or easy.
