Based on the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's highly acclaimed
Amazing Music concerts for television, these
engaging particpatory workshops led by music education professionals
demonstrate how music can be integrated into the classroom. The
award-winning videos with their companion curriculum guides provide a
broad range of activities and lessons for grades 1-6. During the
90-minute workshop teachers see excerpts from the videos, receive an
overview of the curriculum guides, and participate in hands-on
activities that link music to other subject areas.
A
focus on lessons integrating language arts, social studies, science or
math can be arranged by advance request. One video/curriculum guide
4-volume set is included in the price of the workshop. No advance
knowledge of music is required for workshop participants.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn how music can be an effective teaching tool.
- Gain hands-on experience in how to integrate music into the curriculum.
- Particpate in activities that utilize all learning styles and intelligences.
- Acquire
interdisciplinary lesson plans that creatively approach aspects of TAKS
objectives and core curriculum.
- Have fun with activities that are interactive, experiential and engaging with loads of kid appeal!
