EP.11 - How has international school music teaching changed? w/ Delphine Hastwell, Emma Jones & Tara Berryman
This episode was recorded live at the FOBISIA Music Teachers' Conference at Bangkok Prep International School, Thailand.
I speak with three wonderful music educators currently working in international schools in the Asian region. Delphine Hastwell is the head of infants music at Tanglin Trust School, Singapore where she has worked for 20 years! In her time, Delphine has witnessed some amazing changes to her school, the music curriculum and her surroundings. Emma Jones has worked at Dover Court International School, Singapore for 4 years and has made it through a turbulent time with COVID restrictions. Emma's answer to my favourite question: "what makes a 'good' International school music teacher" is brilliant - you have to hear it! Tara Berryman has just started her 2nd year teaching at Regents International School, Bangkok. Tara surprises us all with her intimate connection to international schooling, not only as a teacher, but throughout her childhood as well. Tara provides fresh insights into what it means to teach music in an international school for those who are new to their role.
This is the first time that we've taken the MTIIS podcast on the road and it was great fun.
A special thank you to the team at Bangkok Prep International School for providing space for this discussion.
