src=\"c:\\Users\\Allison\\Pictures\\From Phone\" alt=\"\">I was born in a family of educators and I am very proud to say that my father, currently a retired Assistant Director of Education, inspired me to become a teacher. For over fifteen years of experience, I have personally come to believe that teaching is a passion and a rewarding endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>I am a experienced instructor, drummer, dancer, choreographer, multi-instrumentalist and a respected scholar in the field of Ethnomusicology with expertise in dance- music cultures of Africa and the African diaspora. As an instructor, nothing compares to the experience of helping students, participants and audiences understand the relevance and the place of the arts in our everyday lives and in our societies. I believe arts education should be a tool for personal and societal transformation. In class, my goal is to spark the students\u2019 interest, increase student\/participants understanding, and leave them with a desire to investigate more. While I do this, I demonstrate excellence, enthusiasm and consistency while having a clear impact on the knowledge and abilities of my students\/participants weather in a classroom or during workshops and performances.<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Throughout my teaching career, It is crucial that I create a fun, relaxing, positive and <\/span>engaging learning environment for students, audience and participants both in theory, workshops<br>and any performance practices. Since the studio can be intimidating for a few who may not have danced before, I try to make students\/participants comfortable by introducing a game to break the ice. I have participants introduce themselves to each other with a game of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>My training as a local musician-performer in the village as well as training in academic settings allow me to communicate significant concepts to my students in a manner they may not<br>find in a textbook. When I teach drumming, I use two methods to engage students learning \u2013 leaning by rote and using western notation. My preferred method is by rote where students understand the concepts, techniques and how the instruments engage with each other, something that cannot be explained in any textbooks or notated accurately. When I teach dance, It is imperative that students\/participants understand the cultural meaning of the movements, through a variety of gestures &#8211; hands, feet, facial expressions and the body among others contribute to the overall meaning of the dance. Additionally, my teaching methods sometimes explore factors like the environment, cultures, popular food, languages and movements of creatures as a technique to enhance students understanding. Strategizing fun ways to make students\/participants comfortable by having fun and laughing in a class is my joy.<\/p>\n<p>I teach, facilitate workshops, and perform in different countries. As a result, the participants and students I work with are diverse, representing a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds from around the world. When planning my curriculum or interacting with them, I am always mindful of their unique perspectives. Students from the United States also bring varied experiences with music and dance, as well as different learning styles. I value these differences and strive to create an inclusive and engaging environment for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>I deeply cherish feedback from my students and participants. I constantly seek their input to become the best instructor I can be and to continue inspiring each new generation of learners. Feedback keeps me attentive and adaptable, helping me strengthen the student\u2013teacher relationship and ensure that every participant feels seen and supported.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-df57a12 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"df57a12\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-267351b\" data-id=\"267351b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-441cefb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"441cefb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Teaching Experience<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5686c21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5686c21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Binghamton University Courses:\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 AFST 188B\/MUS 144B Introduction to African Drumming\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 MUSP 257 African Music Ensemble<br \/>AFST 280I\/MUS 280E Popular and Traditional Music of Africa<br \/>AFST 101 Introduction to Africana Studies<br \/>AFST 229\/THEA 229 Beginning African Dance<br \/>AFST 329\/THEA 329 Advanced African Dance<br \/>THEA 389D\/MUS 389A African Dance Performance<br \/>AFST 280D African Popular Music and Cultures<br \/>AFST 483E\/SOC 483A Music, Identity and Social Movement in Africa<br \/>THEA597 Independent Study<br \/>AFST 397 Independent Study<br \/>AFST 497 Advanced Independent Study<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6cc3c72\" data-id=\"6cc3c72\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87b9b7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87b9b7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>International Courses:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>University of Ghana, School of Performing Arts, Ghana\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Research Method in Ethnomusicology<br \/>Interrelatedness of Music and Dance<br \/>Music for Dance<br \/>Ghanaian Instrumental Music Ensemble<\/p><p><strong>Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Shanghai \u2013 China<\/strong><br \/>Introduction to Ghanaian Drumming<br \/>Music in African Cultures<br \/>Interrelatedness of Music and Dance in Ghana<\/p><p><strong>University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast \u2013 Ghana<\/strong><br \/>Graduate Research Method<br \/>Current Issues in Ethnomusicology<br \/>Introduction to Ghanaian Drumming<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Samuel Elikem Nyamuame Dr. Samuel Elikem Kwame Nyamuame is an ethnomusicologist, musician, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, choreographer, and scholar specializing in African and African diaspora music, dance, and religious traditions.
