IOSA Workshop:
Allison Croskey & Christina Reardon
(August 27, 2022)

Colorful Playful Programing of Children’s Literature

Create quality programs using music standards through children’s literature. Explore movement, ostinati, modes and more to create meaningful program pieces. Every color of the rainbow will help us to explore movement, vocal expression, word chains, and drumming sequences. These programming ideas can be used as stand-alone lessons or combined into a concert, all without compromising your curriculum goals.
