Guitars in the Classroom

Learning music is not a race
We each learn at our own pace
Register for what feels best
Cuz music keeps the learning fresh!

ADAPTING MUSIC FOR STUDENTS WITH EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL AND/OR COGNITIVE SUPPORT NEEDS IN SCHOOLS, HOPSITALS, OR HOMES

Course Prerequisite: Total Beginner Uke prior to, or concurrent with, this workshop

In this 4 session workshop, you will learn to lead musical SEL and kindness-boosting activities, games, and purposeful songs for teaching groups of students of all ages. For any educator who has not had the benefit of a classroom teaching artist residency with GITC, this short series will empower you to facilitate music calmly and successfully, with intention. The approach supports student self-regulation, listening, making strong choices, sharing, teamwork, collaboration, patience, positive self-talk, courage, confidence, and agency! Learn from GITC’s founder, Jess Baron, based on the work she and GITC faculty members have been developing in California classrooms for the past 25 years.

This course can be taken concurrently with any instrumental course, including Total Beginner Uke or Guitar.

All classes in this series will be taught from 4-5 pm PT / 5-6 pm MT / 6-7 pm CT / 7-8 pm ET.
