the classroom.

Session Description: Using a variety of childrens literature
and poetry as inspiration, participants will explore
incorporating it into the media of the Schulwerk. We will
also discuss
incorporating authentic
assessments into the
musical process. We

playing, so come ready
to bring the literature to
life! Bring soprano
recorders if you have
one!
