Do you want to build school spirit, a sense of belonging and value in your students, support excellence and expression, and develop critical skills such as self-evaluation, responsibility, commitment, and resilience? Join Dr. Taina Lorenz, an expert in the social and cognitive impacts of group music making, in an engaging discussion of the individual and social impacts of participation in music from elementary to high school. You will come away with strategies to build and advocate for your music programs, musical activities that develop critical thinking and action skills for your students, and opportunities for collaboration and further professional development. And yes, we will make music together!
