The annual TriChapter workshop hosted by The Kodaly Organization of New York.
As music educators, we have the unique opportunity to provide rich musical experiences for all children in our school settings. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore quality repertoire and practical ideas that are appropriate for teaching grades K-5. Specifically, strategies for fostering skills in singing, part work, inner hearing, memory, improvising, creating, and collaboration will be offered, along with ideas of how these skills function within a spiral curricular structure.
The temperature of the workshop space varies throughout the day. We recommend you dress comfortably and bring a sweater or scarf for layering.
Please join us immediately following the workshop for a social hour at:
