Visual Arts as Inspiration
Using rich visuals as inspiration, workshop participants will sing, say, dance, and play their way through the morning. Stunning works of art will help spawn ideas for movement, improvisation, speech and song. Come find new ideas to re-energize your music classroom while making important
