October 20, 2012- Deborah Ziolkoski - British Columbia, Canada
Interactive Listening Lessons Children Love
(Pre K- Gr.7)

Discover how to take classical music from its sophisticated, mysterious realm to one that is child-
centered and fascinating! Through the inspiration and integration of children’s literature, the
compelling music of the great composers is introduced through storytelling, drama, song, movement
and instrumental play. Children of all ages will be captivated by the engaging listening materials as
they nourish many different ways children learn. Deborah will provide an introduction to the
Laban movement efforts and demonstrate how they may be integrated into such favorites as:
Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks by Mussorgsky and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.

Musical concepts and skills are reinforced as children identify and respond to articulation,
dynamics, duration, tempo and form of the music. Puppets, props and costumes are used to
stimulate children’s imagination and keep the focus on imaginative fun! A visual representation of
the music reinforces the form for visual learners as they conduct along; auditory learners thrive as
they play along to the musical cues while kinesthetic learners hop, glide and march to the
compelling music of the great composers. Children will be inspired to create their own stories and
drawings to the music through simple music maps.

January 26, 2013- Tim Wiegand - Las Vegas, NV
“Energize Your Music Classroom then Light Up the Stage!”

For this workshop I will be presenting a continuation of my 2010 National Conference session
titled "Engaging Games, Activities that Work". In this two part workshop you can expect to walk
away with several practical, creative classroom lessons that will energize and motivated your
students to participate like never before. We will then experience some original performance pieces
for choirs, recorder clubs, dance teams, and mallet ensembles intended to raise the level of students’
musicianship. Along the way Tim will share some great percussion techniques, classroom
management ideas, and give examples of incorporating technology into your performances.
