INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE MUSIC CLASSROOM
Movement is an integral part of being musical; worthy of the same explicit and intentional instruction devoted to the literacy component of our curriculum. This lively session shares strategies and techniques to enhance the movement component while involving students in our folk music heritage of songs, dances, and singing games.
VOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN YOUNG CHILDREN
For young children, tuneful singing is the marriage of tuneful thinking and physiological awareness. The child must be able to first “catch the tune” and then reproduce it in head voice. This lively session shares strategies and techniques that are developmentally appropriate while remaining wonderfully childlike; playful, imaginary and fun.
MANAGEMENT: THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL TEACHING
Music educators spend a great deal of time developing, designing and delivering good lessons. Classroom management should also be the product of thoughtful and sequential design. This session shares strategies that help promote active learning by establishing routines so the focus can be on the musical growth of each student
