I'm really struggling with the Powerpoint presentation to be posted on the web which relates to literacy through the performing arts (in my case, music). I struggle primarily because music is its own unique discipline, and I worry that discussing how music can help our society become better with general reading and writing would somehow place the focus away from what makes it unique and valid. The New York State standards referto the word "literacy" only once from what I have been able to find: when a school does not have the resources to have a full music program, it may be useful to focus on reading and writing as opposed to what is more core to a performance-based program.
Relating to a previous post, my frustration is further spurned because what I create here will automatically be a PUBLIC document. As I work out the kinks in my philosophy of music and its relation to literacy, I am forced to do it on a public stage. Perhaps, then, this post is designed to offer a request for patience and forgiveness from those who may discover my presentation. Welcome, self, to the world where your thoughts are no longer held private!
