*Making Music, Making Meaning: Honoring Student Identities in the Elementary General Music Classroom


-

Description
Using activity-based participation and research-informed practices, this session will explore classroom musicking through lenses of human diversity and identity. While this session will include activity demonstrations and new repertoire (songs & chants composed by the presenter), it will also provide space for participants to reflect upon their practices by engaging the lenses through which these activities are viewed and the belief systems upon which these activities are situated.
