Vanessa L. Bond: Carrigan Lecture in Music Education
"Failure By Design: Nurturing Failure in (Music) Education"
The Department of Music Education presents a guest lecture by Vanessa L. Bond, Ph.D., with support from the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Education.
ABSTRACT
"Mistakes are welcome here.” “Failure is not fatal.” “Every failure is a step to success.” Platitudes about the importance of failure abound. And yet, failure is rarely tolerated in our educational and artistic systems. In this discussion, I will interweave empirical research, philosophical perspectives, and personal insights to argue that pedagogical and artistic innovation require space and structures that nurture failure. I will offer concrete possibilities for reimagining specific curricular, assessment, and mentoring practices in music education. Ultimately, if we design intentional opportunities to fail, we open up greater opportunities to grow.

BOND, Professor and Coordinator of Graduate Music Education at Rowan University, researches intersections of music education and the Reggio Emilia approach, culturally responsive music education, mentoring, and academic motherhood.
