Inspiring and Motivating the Next Generation of Music Students
Retain and grow your music programs by learning how to create a more collaborative environment in your classroom where students become invested in creative decision-making by exploring multiple, interconnected creative intelligences through music. When students are given more ownership to explore and be excited about all aspects of music making, they will naturally become better musicians, better student leaders, and better problem solvers.
