Learn how to introduce creative learning centers for practice, review, and assessment of musical concepts and help students develop appropriate small group behavior in order to implement center routines into your music class. Experience how small group center rotation can benefit your students by differentiating lessons for a variety of learning needs and allowing you to get in some occasional one-on-one time with your students!

Date: Saturday, March 23, 2019
Time: 9:00am - 1:00 pm
Location: Butler Music Center, Mansfield University
Join Kate Bright as she takes you around the world in 80 beats! In this workshop, participants will explore the world of the Orff process and find new ways to sing, say, move, and play. By using simple speech patterns and easily created/obtainable manipulatives, teachers will learn how to process rhythms outside the world of 4/4.
