Music, Movement and Yoga: Creating Positive Opportunities for Students with Special Needs

This Saturday Seminar workshop is designed to provide a basic understanding of the unique developmental issues of children with special needs and how these issues may affect learning in the music classroom. It will include an overview of basic diagnosis and labels used in school settings and will offer a picture of what musical engagement looks like in an inclusive classroom setting. Together, we will explore the varied qualities of musical activities as well as ways to design and adapt activities that allow for optimal engagement of special learners by combining music and yoga movement. Attendees will engage in active music making, deep breathing, singing, vocal exploration, signing, stretching and yoga poses. We will explore the similarities between music and yoga and how students can create their own yoga flow. Participants should dress comfortably and bring a yoga mat if possible.

Presenters: Sarah Perry, EdD, MT-BC and Linda Lara, MM, WCC ‘95
