Expand & Enhance Your Music Teaching Skillset
Are you a vocal or instrumental music teacher interested in expanding your
teaching skillset? Do you have questions about music teaching? Then - be
sure to join this informative professional development workshop!
This two-day interactive workshop is filled with practical information and
teaching tips for today’s music teachers. Developed by internationally
renowned Suzuki Piano teacher trainer Merlin B. Thompson, topics for
exploration include: how times have changed, research into how people
learn, psychology and philosophy of teaching, the function of curriculum
models, strategies for reflective teaching, and more. Given that music
students are immensely diverse and their musical aspirations cover an
entire spectrum, today’s music teachers need more flexibility and creativity than
ever. The goal is to equip teachers with effective teaching tools and respond
to your questions with proven teaching strategies.
