Dr. Alec D. Scherer, Assistant Professor of Music Education, provided guest lectures on “Democratic Teaching Practices” and “Access to Quality Music Education” for two summer graduate programs. Scherer presented virtually on democratic teaching practices (one of his primary research areas) to master’s students at Capitol University in Ohio. The following week he presented on the NAfME “Opportunity to Learn Standards” and the Yale Symposium “Declaration on Equity in Music for City Students” to summer master’s music education students at Florida State University. The presentations were well received, and students engaged in vibrant discussion.
