The identity, social role, and approach of the music teacher are important components of a socio-musical system. In this piece, the teacher promoting diversity as he engages young students in different musical cultures/styles at a very young age.
Cute video - rather commercial and Western, but still a good example of kids interacting with their teacher and the important role of teacher in music education. I didn't hear too many cultures represented in this example - mostly American folk song. How do you feel the teacher promoted diversity? Thanks for sharing - Martha
