A Mix of Folk and Fun!

For this workshop I will be presenting a continuation of my 2022 National Conference session titled “Folk at Heart”.  In this workshop you can expect to walk away with several practical, creative classroom lessons and games built around classic folk material, which will energize and motivate your students to participate like never before.  Each activity is intended to engage the student’s musical motor skills, as we have seen their decline due to online learning and an obsession with technology in the home.  Along the way Tim will share some great percussion techniques, classroom management ideas, and give examples of incorporating technology into your lessons.
