Episode 207: Next Gen Music Education with Mak Barton
Manage episode 429652503 series 2507740
I frequently engage in and read discussions with young music educators about the ways in which the music education profession is or is not “adapting with the times.” As always, the answer to that is yes. And no…
Mak Barton is a second year teacher in Maryland who I found on her wildly entertaining TikTok account that is fast approaching 100k followers! Recently I was tagged in one of her videos in which she addresses the question of whether or not we are adequately responding to the needs of the next generation in our music classrooms.
“Is there a place in our programs for a Soundcloud rapper?” Mak’s initial take was no, but I say yes! I think like many things, it depends on our perspectives. I think you will really enjoy this conversation just like I did, especially if you value the voices of the next generation of students and educators. Mak and I discussed what it is like to subject herself to social media vulnerability, the traditions of music education that can and should evolve, as well as ways to champion those tried and true elements of curriculum that have endured for good reason.

Makynzie Barton is a High School Music Educator in Maryland, teaching and directing Choirs, Piano, Theatre, and Foundations of Music. She grew up singing in church with her family, then self-learning how to play the guitar, piano, and write like her favorite artists. After high school, she attended University of Delaware to study Music Education and eventually combined it with a Music Management degree to create a more vernacular-music-focused degree plan, currently working towards her Master’s in Music Education at Berklee College of Music.
Her platform on social media has grown as she arranges music we listen to today for/with her choirs, facilitating a space for them to create their own and be active participants in music-making. Music-lovers all over the world have been able to come, get a good giggle from choir kids and their chaotic director, and hear some incredible music.
