Great first video! I started teaching a few years ago and found it quite isolating as it was hard to learn "How to teach Taiko". I think it would be great to hear the differences in approaches in leading workshops vs multi-class sessions, product-based vs concept-based teaching, and giving students opportunities to perform or in some way synthesize their learning so that they have a feeling of accomplishment.
@@TicTacTaiko I meant in contrast to product-based teaching. Some "products" that teachers teach towards is like teaching a song or teaching a style of taiko, something concrete that you can show someone else after you've taken a workshop. There's also other types of teaching like someone's "approach" to improvisation, composition, soloing or stage presence. that I would say are more abstract and "concept" based. Both definitely have different audiences and different ways to engage students and was wondering you thoughts on that!
Ah, I get it now! That's a lot of really good material to chew on, and I can see different ways to talk about them all. Will definitely be thinking about this. Thank you!
Good idea for video series, but also would be good for tips on how to be a supportive teaching assistant. When to chime in and demonstrate in ways that help and not hinder and at the right time
have the advanced students explain or demonstrate to the beginners is also a good win-win strategy ... curious for the rest of the series... thx for sharing!
Definitely a good idea for something longer-term, to help both groups improve! Gives me a great idea to talk about "workshops" vs. "classes," too! Thank you!

Thank you! I'll make a note of your suggestions, and I was curious what you meant by "concept-based teaching?"

That's a good suggestion! I'll add it to my list of ideas for more in this series. Thank you!
