Does using MLT mean abandoning traditional goals? Will my band program, for example, start to look like something other than a “traditional” band program?
Not necessarily; it’s up to you, the teacher. You decide what kinds of activities your music program emphasizes. An MLT-influenced program will fit in just fine with traditional programs in a given district or region. Its students, however, are likely to possess certain skills—the ability for instrumentalists to play by ear, for example—that traditionally trained students frequently lack.
