CONFERENCE: Indiana Music Education Association - Fort Wayne, IN 

FSM Older Learners and Joyful Music Making

With the Conversational Solfege approach, music literacy starts with an “ear-before-eye” philosophy. Songs are broken down into their component parts and then reassembled so students grow in musical understanding. This session is a basic overview of the 12-step teaching method created by Dr. John M. Feierabend.

Tuneful singing requires tuneful thinking and physiological awareness. To help young children explore the sensation of singing, we must use developmentally appropriate techniques and activities that are wonderfully child-like, imaginary and fun. This lively session will share ideas that immediately engage, encourage and support young children in their vocal development.
