One Poem, Infinite possibilities
Elemental music involves using the basic building blocks of music to create something that is more than the sum of its parts. Come see how one simple rhyme and a melody from music for children Volume I can become the basis of experiences for students across all levels. Beginning with Kindergarten and ending in upper elementary, participants will experience multiple modalities of music instruction, creative movement, and melodic improvisation, which will lead their students to become more literate and independent musicians.
