ENDANGERED MUSICAL MINDS KEYNOTE Friday 9:10 – 10:00 AM
All children are born with some potential to succeed with music. But, with inappropriate or no music experiences in the early years, children will lose their intuitiveness for making accurate and sensitive musical responses. The future success of vocal and instrumental performers as well as musical participation in daily life is significantly dependent on appropriate early intervention. Here is critical information about how children think music and what we can do to help them musically develop.

November 8 – 9th and November 15-16th Must attended both weekends
Conversational Solfege Upper Levels further explores the development of music literacy through analyzing songs and creating a sequence of learning, based on song content and skill development. Strategies include listening, reading, writing, writing lesson plans, and establishing yearly goals and an introduction of how to teach harmonic function in major and minor tonalities as they apply to improvisation and composition. This course is applicable to upper elementary general music, as well as middle school and high school choral, and instrumental teachers.
While highly recommended, participants are not required to already have completed Conversational Solfege Levels I and II Certification.
Participants will be required to purchase the newly revised (2018) Conversational Solfege Level 3 Teachers Edition and CD.
