Thom Borden Purposeful Process: Using Rhythm and Rhyme and Singing Games to Address Musical Concepts September 14th | 9a-1:00p Young Voices of Colorado 99 Inverness Dr. Suite 150 Englewood, CO 80122 Workshop Fees: OAKE Member: $30 Non-member: $60 Student: FREE |
Rhythms and rhymes through storytelling and nursery rhyme are the tools used in this workshop as we look at the sequenced approach of teaching musical concepts. Familiar titles are used as research supports the idea that prior knowledge is key to building understanding. In this workshop, we will consider the blended classroom pedagogues as we follow through the stages of prior knowledge to labeling concepts to practicing concepts with familiar and even unfamiliar activities. Finally, we will look at teaching practices that allow students to reflect with metacognitive experiences.
