About the Seminars
Shadows on the rooftop: A global labyrinth of singing games and dances to delight our students
Saturday, March 26,
8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Singing music in cultural context encourages imaginative play and curiosity about our neighbors. Singing games release students’ inhibitions and stimulate joyful collaboration between students of various backgrounds. The musical selections for this workshop will include repertoire from India, the Middle East, Central and South America. Come ready to sing, dance, and play!
Presenters: Erasmia Voukelatos and Joan Litman
To Be (Diversity) Or Not To Be: A Critical Interrogation of Contemporary Music Education
Saturday, March 26
1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
What does diversity look like, and equally as important, why do we need it in our classrooms? This workshop will define what diversity is and offer evidence of how it has been enacted in our society and in the music classroom. We will also explore what equity is and how it can be enacted in the music classroom through critical pedagogy and anti-racist pedagogy. Critiques and discussion of current practices in music education will round out the afternoon.
Presenter: G. Preston Wilson, Jr.
