First Steps in Part Singing
2026-01-29 00:00 (CST)
Once students are tuneful, beatful, and artful it is time to enter into part-singing! In this session, participants will experience a sequential approach to singing in parts. Beginning with partner songs and simple bass lines then moving into rounds and canons and finally harmony, participants will experience beginning part-singing strategies using age-appropriate literature suited to students in the upper elementary grades and beyond. Tried-and-true methods and plenty of examples will be shared to encourage singing in parts joyfully.

Creative Movement in the Elementary General Music Classroom
2026-01-30 00:00 (CST)
Take a tour through The Book of Movement Exploration by John Feierabend and Jane Kahan and actively discover the ten essential movement “themes” based on the work of Rudolf von Laban for inspiring creativity through movement in children of all ages. In this participatory session we will experience joyful pathways to guide students in developing their personal movement vocabulary as we explore various ways to move: alone and with others, with and without music. This approach of learning through movement also connects students kinesthetically with the deeper, below-the-surface aspects of music, the “art” part, connecting community and culture as we endeavor to learn and grow musically, together.
