  GREAT MUSICAL ADAPTATIONS! Songs for Memorable Teaching and Smooth Transitions 

  This workshop is commissioned by National Arts Council.

  Music is a powerful presence in all our lives. We tend to think that the experience of music is our goal. Music also can be used as a tool to accomplish other goals. In this workshop, participants will identify areas where musical tools can enhance their classrooms and learn how to create and use music strategies to support identified objectives, including in STEM subjects. Participants will gain an understanding of how beat, melody, and lyrics create focus, improve motivation, affect mood, support children’s STEM learning, and foster emergent literacy skills. Singing for the confidence-impaired and "best practice" principles for leading music will be addressed. Includes handout.

  Goal: Participants will explore strategies for using music as a tool for teaching and classroom management in preschool settings.
