Music and movement foster a sense of wonder and joy in our children, creating a safe space for learners to explore, to play, and to understand as they give themselves to new adventures.

Children’s stories beckon to us as a way to explore concepts in music, drama, movement and improvisation. How can we foster active music-making in response to traditional stories and contemporary children’s literature? How do we help children enrich their own capacity for rich language? How do we help them develop an awareness of their own voice and an appreciation for their own life experiences? How do we help them to connect their experiences, at their level, to the rich stream of human experience?  In this workshop we will weave these experiences in music-making, storytelling, and using children’s books to explore our human understanding and connection.

This workshop focuses on creative music and movement activities for preschool, primary and intermediate children. Singing, speaking, moving, playing, improvising and creating – some of our favorites, developed by the kids, lessons they want to come back to again and again!

Come join us for a day of looking at the world around us through children’s eyes.
