Such a great program! If you are looking for a wonderful and diverse group of music educators and some inspiration for your next school year, you should really consider spending a few days in NYC at Carnegie Hall and the Summer Music Educators Workshop. The faculty and participants are all wonderful.
The programming is outstanding, the people are generous and kind, and the registration is very affordable! I am thrilled to join the core faculty for this summer's workshop and learn alongside these outstanding educators from 26 states and 7 countries, comprising a total of 160 people this year.
As I continue to meet musicians, young and old, from around the world, it is incredible to me how few of them have ever been asked to think of their music as "in their body." The classes I taught this week shared some of the most basic ideas from the Dalcroze philosophy (the body is the first instrument; music is to make us feel; artistry begins with choices). You could see these outstanding teaching artists open up, laugh, and play as we pulled their personal, feeling, bodies into the music. It is always an honor to share these experiences with new groups.
Yeah for music! Yeah for adults searching for new understandings and expanded practices! Yeah for joy and play and community. #thankfultohavebeenhere
