Space is limited to 75 teachers per site, so sign up as soon as possible to reserve your space.
Each participant will attend the general session AND two break-out sessions. Please select TWO sessions you would like to attend.
REACHING SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS THROUGH MUSIC - Teachers will learn techniques on how to communicate more effectively with special needs students using music as a tool.
CHORAL SESSION - Singing in an ensemble builds confidence, cameraderie, and independence. Teachers will be exposed to a variety of repertoire, while preparing musical selections. Experiencing first-hand the discipline needed to learn a song may prove helpful in understanding the challenges faced by our students. Participants will perform for their colleagues in the afternoon.
RECORDER SESSION - Developing fine motor skills and coordination is a hefty challenge for students and teachers alike. In this session, teachers will be taught recorder technique thorugh a variety of performance repertoire. Participants will perform for their colleagues in the afternoon.
