What You’ll Experience

This hands-on training will immerse you in creative music-making practices for the classroom. Together we’ll explore:

🎵 Improvisation & Composition – simple strategies that empower students to create their own music in all settings, including large ensemble.

🎵 Arranging & Comping – building background patterns that work across instruments and ensembles.

🎵 Songwriting – guiding your students to write, share, and perform original songs.

🎵 Technology Integration – explore how technology tools can benefit you and your students.

We’ll play together, try out real-world classroom applications, and connect these practices to a wide variety of teaching environments.

Bring an instrument (any kind: winds, strings, guitars, percussion, kazoo… the sky’s the limit!) for an inspiring day of collaboration and fun.
