Students are the most engaged and creative when they are curious! Come explore ways to spark that curiosity and cultivate it into active music making, improvising and composing. Using children’s literature, cultural connections, Orff Schulwerk volumes, and creative movement, attendees will dive into ways to encourage creativity and ownership in the elementary musician.
