Construcivism

"Service learning is an activity that promotes both learning and development while working for the betterment of others and the community" (Ormrod 232). As a musician for I know how important it is to be seen in the community. Through my sorority we have had projects where we have music workshops with girl scouts where we help them earn a badge by teaching them music rhythms and how to make rain sticks. We also have a method book drives where we have collected method books from UT students to donate to schools with music students who cannot afford them. 

In the saxophone studio we have had several concerts at retirement homes. It is a fun and easy way to give back to the community and I plan to have my future students to do the same thing.I plan to have chamber ensembles perform at retirement and nursing homes. In my experience these performances bring so much joy to the people living at these homes. This also allows more time for chamber ensembles to work together so that they will be able to improve on their musicality; providing more learning experiences for students.
