In 2005 at The Midwest Clinic I presented "We Already Teach More Than Music: Interdisciplinary Approaches for All."
Amy Novick, Clinician
Sponsored by National-Louis University
December 14 & 16, 2005
Synopsis: Music inherently includes Interdisciplinary concepts and techniques. By simply changing the Vocabulary, Analogies, and Skills we use to teach during Authentic Experiences, we can reinforce academic subjects, cognitive skills, and social skills, while music becomes more tangible, vivid, and meaningful for our students.
