Synopsis
Music has been taught virtually the same way for generations. In this podcast, Dr. Molumby explores a new world of possibilities, discussing her diverse teaching and creative activities that bridge the timeless art of music with ancient meditation techniques and modern technology. She shares how Boise State flute students are using the guided meditation practice of iRest to reduce stress and performance anxiety. Complementing the Zen atmosphere in the practice room and on stage, students in Dr. Molumby’s ear training class are plugged in to mobile devices, helping them navigate their busy lives by developing innovative learning strategies using iPads.
