​

This active-learning workshop will demonstrate the multi-levels and purposes of folk songs, chants, games, and dances appropriate for traditional and non-traditional learning environments. Attendees will learn how folk songs are efficiently incorporated into the general music, choral, or instrumental classroom, providing aural, psychological, technical, and physical preparation for literacy, as well as discover programmable options for folk repertoire. Songs from various countries will be shared, giving educators the opportunity to demonstrate the accessibility of international cultures with their students. And above all else, everyone will be reminded that music is joyous and is meant to be shared.
