Have you ever wondered what you’re really assessing in the music classroom?…hint: it’s not just musical ability!
This workshop will engage you in several practical, fun (and challenging 🙂 ) brain-based, movement activities to use with secondary students or adults. These activities are great to include in your methodological sequences as they highlight specific melodic, rhythmic and musical elements, while also enhancing neurological pathways. They can, of course, just be used as stand-alone activities for fun! Each activity will demonstrate that the way individuals’ brains are wired can greatly affect how they ‘perform’ and participate in the music classroom. We will briefly discuss these differences in ‘brain wiring’ in relation to classroom assessments. If you’re looking for new ways to engage your students/choirs, and have a few laughs, this session is for you
