Music Education Workshop

On Friday, August 14, the Children's Music Ministry at Tenth Church will present a day-long (8:45am-4:15pm) elementary music education workshop. Both new and experienced music teachers are cordially invited to attend. Additionally, those currently using their musical gifts with children in any capacity (as well as those who may desire to do so in the future) are welcome.

Sessions will touch on the Scriptural mandate for music-making, hymn instruction for children, music ed research and theory, early childhood/elementary instruction, beginning literacy, the healthy child singing voice, and classroom management. Practical ideas culled from the research and work of Drs. Edwin Gordon, John Feierabend and Lili Levinowitz will be presented. We will discuss our approach to the construction of both early childhood and elementary level music class units and lessons. In addition to these sessions, you will have the chance to discuss music education issues with your peers in an informal manner, something rarely afforded to those in the profession.

The cost for the day will be:
$30 for those not currently involved in the Children's Music Ministry program at Tenth
$20 for former teachers from our program
Free for returning Tenth music teachers/helpers.

Childcare is available. We are working to make this day as engaging, informative, encouraging and practical as possible so that you are prepared for the Fall semester. We hope you will be able to join us! Contact Missy Strong at momamissy@comcast.net for more information
