Questioning How Music Should Be Taught?

This post has been swirling around in my mind since leaving the Massachusetts Music Educator's All State Conference.  John Feierabend was the keynote speaker and he did an excellent job making the distinction between "experiencing" music and "reading" music.  I also attended a session by Molly Weaver where she underscored the concept and provided movement and other "experiential" examples of how a shift can be made in how we teach music in Band and Choral rehearsals.
