In the Listening Station, students immerse themselves in the sounds of the Music Technology & Learning Lab‘s monthly musical theme. Whether it’s the intricate melodies of Baroque music, the improvisational spirit of jazz, or the cinematic sweep of film scores, this station provides a rich listening experience that deepens their understanding of different musical styles.
Students engage with curated playlists featuring historical recordings and guided listening activities designed to sharpen their musical ears. As they listen, they reflect on what they hear and share three things they’ve learned or observed – whether it’s a unique instrument, and unexpected rhythm, or an emotional impact.
Each month, lab instructors select standout insights from student reflections to feature in our monthly newsletter, celebrating curiosity and thoughtful listening while keeping families connected to their child’s musical journey.
