2 STEPS TO MUSIC LITERACY USING CONVERSATIONAL SOLFEGE 

Developing Rhythmic and Melodic Literacy skills

This workshop demonstrates how to enable students to joyfully assimilate the content and skills necessary to become musically literate including the acquisition of listening, rhythmic reading, dictation, composition, and improvisation. Each rhythmic element will also be explored in patterns, songs and themes from classical literature. Literature using advanced Solfege patterns with a parallel development of rhythm patterns in 2/4 and 6/8 meter will also be presented. Opportunities for part-singing are demonstrated with rhythmic and melodic sight-reading and dictation. Participants experiences a curriculum that grows out of rhythmic elements that exist in the folk song literature of this country

Social Emotional Learning in the Tuneful, Beautiful Artful Classroom

Music is more social than other subjects and it is important for the music teacher to be tuned into the individual differences and needs of a child by embedding those critical socialization skills into the classroom procedure. Knowing where your students are in their musical growth and how they process songs and dance is critical to designing appropriate individualized instructions.
