Abstract
In this TALES workshop, Dr. John Winzenburg will share practices in creative experiential learning as faculty-conductor of the HKBU choral ensembles. Adhering to the direction of a liberal arts education, in the university ensemble curriculum, learner-centered teaching maps individual growth onto a centrally focused goal of group artistic development. Here, music students imagine, explore, and test new boundaries for themselves through high-impact projects that reflect changing cultural practices and yet demand ever-rising standards of performance. Dr. Winzenburg will recount the achievements of our students from foundational training and ensemble building to an expanding horizon of creative undertakings in collaborative concert performances, international tours, radio and television broadcasts, theatrical productions, studio recordings, and multimedia events. Workshop participants will then discuss creative experiential learning applications in a variety of university disciplines and explore avenues for developing collaborative student ventures.
