Student spotlights part 2 Continued from Student Spotlights on page 5 Key pedagogy: Mauterer's students 'learn how to work at something' By Sarah Mummert Pedagogy. For many students, this is a foreign word, but for Olivia Mauterer it is her passion and future. Mauterer is a junior from Fort Knox, Kentucky, majoring in keyboard pedagogy, which means she is studying how to teach piano. This program equips students to teach people of all ages in individual or group sessions in a school, studio or student's home. As juniors, students are required to take on at least two piano students of their own. Mauterer loves spending one-onone time with her students. That's what led her to her major. Olivia Mauterer "You don't just teach them piano," Mauterer said. "They learn life skills . They learn how to work at something, to do something that is hard but also to have fun." After grad'uation, Mauterer intends to do private lessons. But first, she would like to gain experience in someone else's studio, working alongside other teachers . Geology: Henze finds home studying what she is 'really excited to talk about' By Esther Fultz Emma Henze, a junior from Springfield, Ohio, came to Cedarville undeclared right before classes started and was enrolled in a gen ed earth science class. "Of all the people I knew, I was the only person who kept going to the class and every day I was really excited to talk about it," said Henze. "I decided to try majoring in Geology for a semester and I've been in the program ever since." Henze said one of her favorite parts about the geology program is the field trips she gets to go on for classes that take her off campus. She recommends students interested in majoring in Geology learn to enjoy being outdoors and studying many different areas of science. Drawing skills are also a plus, as students sketch a lot of what they find in the field . Henze's long-term goal is to be a college professor. "Whether I end up teaching at Cedarville or a secular school, I want to preach the Gospel in the way that I care for my students as a professor and see them be able to grasp the knowledge they need to learn."
