Drumming Up a Better Brain & Creative Classroom Management
Presented: Friday - February 4, 2022
Mary shares brain-based rhythmic activities designed to invigorate learners and to develop important mind-body connections. Combine music and movement strategies that address student accountability, daily transitions, engagement, leadership, and higher order thinking. Participants learn sequential strategies for integrating rhythm, melody and harmony within a drum circle setting where barred instruments, small and large percussion, ukuleles, recorders and Boomwhackers can all be included.
Developing Global Perspectives Through World Music
Presented: Friday - February 4, 2022
Explore engaging brain-based experiential learning strategies for teaching world music that promote understanding and appreciation for world traditions and inspire spontaneous compositions created by students of all ages. Mary illustrates how interactive improvisational play nurtures inclusion, student choice, student-to-student engagement as they learn rhythmic and tonal systems from Africa, South America, India, Middle East, and Indonesia while they expand their own musical self-expression.
