Meet Me in the Middle: 2nd and 3rd Grade Repertoire Remix!

This virtual Kodály workshop is all about the sweet spot of 2nd and 3rd grade: where students are ready for more musical independence, bigger challenges, and LOTS of fun. We’ll dig into fresh ways to use songs you know, discover new repertoire, and transform familiar activities into something new.

Come ready to sing, play, move, and remix! We’ll explore fun new games, creative activities, and classroom-ready songs designed specifically for the middle grades.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your repertoire, shake up your tried-and-true activities, or find new ways to keep 2nd and 3rd graders engaged, this workshop will send you back to your classroom with plenty of ideas to try right away.

ESL Strategies in the Music Classroom
Presented By Alicia Brown

Saturday, April 17th
9AM – 1PM
Brady Education Center Auditorium at The University of St. Thomas, St. Paul

Does your vision for your classroom include cultural affirmation for all students?

Are you looking to incorporate non-English materials in a pedagogically relevant way? Are you searching for bilingual and ESL teaching strategies that help all students reach deep, musical understandings? Many of us serve students with a first language other than English. As Kodaly teachers, we can use the Prepare, Present (Make-Conscious), Practice model to promote the language and cultural skills our students will need to be successful. In this workshop, educators will sing, play, and explore music literacy using a variety of linguistic source materials as well as explore through reflection what a culturally affirming Kodaly classroom for all can look like. Learn skills to teach language, cultural, and music skills simultaneously.
