Nurturing Wholeness In The Elementary General Music Classroom

Many of us desire to support our students in growing their social and emotional capacities, but do not have training in how to do this. Roger models lessons for nurturing the whole child while simultaneously teaching to curricular goals and building musical skills. Together we will sing, say, dance and play while examining how to hold space for the social and emotional development of young musicians in our care.
