Survey of Music Cycle: 5
In March we celebrate Music in Our Schools Month and Women’s History Month. The purpose of Music In Our Schools Month is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children – and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music. Music In Our Schools Month is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the benefits that school music brings to students of all ages. The lessons and activities included celebrating both Women in Music to honor Women’s History Month and Music In Our Schools Month to honor our music education.
SEL Warm Up:
Listen and watch as music educator and National Association for Music Education member Elizabeth Caldwell reads Because by Mo Willems to help illustrate this year’s theme.
