Teaching with Trance

| Living in a small town in Ontario during the late 1990’s, few people were aware of trance music. As a high school student I always felt compelled to incorporate trance music when I was required to give class presentations. A number of years later and I have found myself on the other side of the desk. As a History and English teacher I managed to successfully introduce my students to the genre of trance music. At the start of the semester I played the trance anthem classic, ‘Questions must be asked’ by David Forbes. In teaching these subjects I challenged my students to become critical consumers of course material and to ask questions for clarification or confirmation. At the end of the semester I played the track ‘Answers’ also by David Forbes. With this track I hoped that the students would indeed have made connections with the course material and that the material they have pondered and contemplated would have in fact yielded answers. Figure those who have an appreciate for our beloved music would appreciate its potential educational and entertainment value within the context of a more formal educational institution! |

Please immediately cease and desist the practice of violating your position of trust and power to preach your musical evangelism to your students in an attempt to convert them to your personal interests.
Stick to course content for now on.
Thank you. |

so you're basically saying it taught them nothing but provided awkward background music to some power point?
Awesome! |

So what are the good tunes for teaching?
I'd suggest some old-school. |

LOL! Are you sure you are a teacher? As a teacher myself I know that that kind of pedagogical methods would never pass through here. You would simply disqualify yourself as a teacher and get rejected instantly. Also I make no connection whatsoever between the stuff you educate and the music. And third a teacher is responsible of being objective in his education. Pushing your own taste of music on them is not very objective. |
