Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of classical music education as we chat with the wonderfully talented Reb. From starting piano lessons at the age of four to earning a master's degree in choral conducting, Reb shares her journey, reflecting on the commitment and dedication required for a classical conservatory education, and the negative outcomes that may arise when a student lacks genuine interest in the music.
Our conversation expands into the realms of Web3 technology and decentralized education, exploring their potential role in creating a more musical world. The idea of decentralized conservatories is discussed, painting a picture of a future where people can get paid for learning music and demonstrating their progress. We also consider the current system of classical music training, and how these new systems could provide more opportunities for everyone.
We delve into the importance of the teacher-student relationship in music education, and how RPG technology could potentially create a more accessible and equitable learning environment for all. Reb emphasizes the critical role of community in music education, and how a metaphorical approach to teaching can be beneficial. We also touch on the impact of choir directors, the potential for a Duo Lingo-like app for sight singing, and how platforms like Twitter can foster a sense of community among musicians. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in music, education, and the intersection of the two.
