| Title: | Dramatic Sonata: A Musicking |
| Authors: | Hayden, Luke Foster |
| Issue Date: | Dec-2025 |
| Abstract: | Couched in the politics of a Southern Indiana school district, this paper explores how Christopher Small’s concept of “musicking” can be used as a methodological framework for critical pedagogy. The paper is presented in sonata form and with dialogue detailing the author’s experiences advocating for his students to perform Ride the Cyclone: High School Edition in front of his local school board. It begins with a brief discussion on the political climate in Indiana, followed by exploring how musicking can be used to counteract these policies and how these policies impact the lives of students. The dialogue portion demonstrates musicking in action as all participants can music together. |
