6-12 Workshops & Events

Let’s talk about the power of music as a transformative force in education in this 2-hour workshop specifically designed for Montessori 6-12 educators. Explore how music, far beyond being a mere subject, serves as a key to deepening the child’s connection with themselves, human civilization and nature.

In this workshop, we’ll explore:

• The origins of music and how it has been intertwined with human life and expression for thousands of years.

• How to connect music with the Great Stories, offering children a rich context to explore universal themes through sound and rhythm.

• The importance of storytelling in music, and how to use stories as a gateway to introducing new musical ideas to children.

• How movement and dance can be used as another language to tell stories and deepen children’s understanding of music.

• How to use personal stories about your own emotional connections to music as a tool to connect deeply with students.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a wealth of ideas, stories, and practical tools to bring music into your Montessori 6-12 classroom, helping children connect emotionally with their learning while expanding their level of human consciousness.
