James McGowan, a professor of music theory and composition, won a 2013 New Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award<\/a> for his work on a pedagogical application to improve music skills.<\/p>\n

The app, which is an online ear training software, allows students anywhere to build onto their learning by embracing different musical styles and creating levels that fit with current curriculum.<\/p>\n

In the classroom, James diverges from his virtual teaching expertise and focuses on a one-on-one approach with his students to hone their musical talent.<\/p>\n

Calling teaching \u201cone of the most critical jobs I have,\u201d he stresses that his classes are a place for students to discover their passion for music in a supportive environment. As a music theorist, pianist and composer, James manages to effortlessly instill the same commitment and passion he has for music in his students.<\/p>\n

In 2020, James was appointed the Carleton University Chair in Teaching Innovation<\/a>. With this award, he plans to create and support a network of like-minded instructors, students and staff using the principles of Performative Learning and Artistic Communities of Engagement (PLACE). The network will identify opportunities for performative learning, exploring experiential arts-based approaches to engage students in a variety of disciplines, and create artistic communities of engagement that allow students to find means of expression beyond course work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[39],"yoast_head":"\nJames McGowan -
