Workshops

Every Name is a Song!
2_edited_edited.png

In this mini-workshop, we will explore how to welcome our children in the classroom with Games, Chants, Claps, and Dance. 


The process of learning everyone’s name introduces the elemental approach to music with rhythmic speech, movement, stories, singing, and percussion instruments. The principles of elemental music are adaptable to all ages.

​

Pedagogical focus:

  • Honor everyone’s identity and cultural origin;

  • Establish a sense of personal and general space;

  • Form an inclusive community.

This Level 1 training workshop introduces skills and strategies for an elemental approach to music and movement. Short daily sessions after the Montessori work period explore a total music experience, uniting movement, speech rhythms, body percussion, stories, poems, dramatic play, dance, singing, and percussion instruments. The multisensory modalities offer entry points for different learners and develop an embodied understanding of concepts and content.

​

Highlights:

  • Deep dive into movement, inspired by Feldenkrais and Laban Movement Analysis;

  • Finger and hand games to activate brain development;

  • Celebration of imagination, diversity, community, and peace;

  • Detailed lessons in a 120-page manual and electronic record keeping layout;

  • Principles that can be adapted to any age group and culture.

 

Recordings: 

Sessions are not recorded. Traditionally, elemental music takes place in community and appreciates everyone’s presence. There will be attendance flexibility between Saturday and following identical Tuesday sessions.
