| Abstract: | Music classrooms have incorporated elements of cooperative peer learning for generations. Whether sharing an instrument or composing a song together, peers interact in many meaningful and spontaneous ways. While the principles of peer-assisted learning (PAL) might be familiar to many music teachers, the process and structures of reciprocal peer teaching (RPT) may be new to some and can help provide a structured and positive approach to music learning, particularly considering limited class time. The purpose of this article is to describe the process of RPT as it applies to elementary general music classrooms. An established body of research in peer learning will lead to an explanation of the tutor training process. Readers will then be provided content-specific suggestions for practice based on two common methods of elementary general music: Orff Schulwerk and Modern Band. |
