Early on a cold Saturday morning in November, several violin students warmed up for their audition for the 2012-13 All-State Festival, Orchestra. The students looked nervous as they practiced their scales, reviewed their music and waited to be called into the audition room. Jeremy Fortier, the Strings teacher at Meadowbrook Waldorf School, explained that the students had prepared for the audition for months, in school and with a private instructor, learning scales, developing sight-reading skills, and mastering a movement or two from the staples of classical music.
Classroom Insights, Social Justice
Rudolf Steiner used an archetypal picture of the developing human being to form the guiding principles of his pedagogical approach. These timeless principles provide a solid foundation for re-envisioning the content of our lessons. Our goal is to include more diverse representation in support of racial justice while enhancing the unique essence that makes Waldorf education so powerful.
