​About the workshop:

This workshop will focus on ways we can meaningfully include students who learn differently in our music classrooms and ensembles. We will focus on cognition, communication, and socialization needs as we explore ideas for creating experiences that allow all students to achieve meaningful and achievable objectives each day. This active day will include active experiences to illustrate concepts and time to answer your specific questions.
