Abstract

Moving away from the common model of intellectually-based didactic teaching, this session explores uses of the arts, primarily music, in the teaching of management. Because music can express affect so well, using this as a medium in class hass the potential to engage more of the student than their intellect. Two experiential exercises will be demonstrated which illustrate how music can be used to effectively teach group harmony, dissonance, team vs. solo work, discipline, resolution and the need for improvisation or adaptibility in this highly competitive business world filled with chaos. In addition, because of the level of anxiety often experienced by student when engaging in musical endeavors, the presenters will discuss the role of shared incompetence (similar to the outward Bound model) in musical activities for students.
