In this session, teachers will explore multiple activities, strategies, and tools to use in the classroom to teach rhythm and challenge their students. Teachers will walk away from this session with multiple ways to engage students' minds daily thereby helping to build better musicianship skills.
The session materials are geared towards working with older beginners, students in grades 6-12, but will work with developing all of our emerging young musicians.
