Listening 101: Best Listening Practices Using the repertoire to be performed on the upcoming school concert, we will review the elements of music and practice listening for them. We will talk about the ways in which they are used by different composers and discover how this attentive listening can enrich our enjoyment and appreciation of music. This workshop is targeted to elementary classroom teachers who are expected to teach core music curriculum, but who have little or no training in teaching music. To get more information call Beverly Hawkins at 801-869-9092. |
