This session helps afterschool professionals more effectively use music in a classroom setting, not only to build connections with their students, but also help them deal with difficult situations, build GRIT, and strengthen a Growth Mindset. This program teaches a basic curriculum that uses music to help strengthen students' knowledge of rhythm, tone, and basic instruments. The main focus of the "Music and Emotion" program is to show how music can be used to help work through difficult situations, show the importance of your emotions, and help build relationships.

This session empowers afterschool professionals to understand the benefits of integrating art through music to enhance students' experiences and outcomes in the after-school setting. Participants will gain hands-on experience with simple strategies, including drumming that promote decision-making, impulse control, and memory retention. Join us for an engaging session that will have you moving and learning!

Well then come join us for this engaging workshop to find confidence to fill your days with fun and connection with your kids no matter the situation.
