The chief aim of this spirited and interactive workshop is to help OCCASIONAL and LONG TERM OCCASIONAL TEACHERS build community through Music, Movement, Dance, Drama and DPA by evoking enthusiastic participation of all student’s musical voices, minds, and abilities and it is directly linked to the Ontario Arts Curriculum.
All activities introduced are accessible to educators of all musical levels and abilities, and designed so K-6 students can develop their tuneful, beatful, and artful abilities. Folk songs, dances and rhymes from Canada’s rich cultural heritage as well as classical music are the primary source materials that are used.
This research-based pedagogy contains everything you need to lead a music class for preschool and early elementary students, including: Movement Exploration, Action Songs, Circle Games, Beat Motion Activities, Expressive Movement, Folk Dances and more.. (See attached flyer.)
No music experience necessary, just a desire to have lots of fun! Children are welcome to attend.
