June 28 - July 2, 2021

The USM School of Music will host
Dr. Rachel Grimsby for "First Steps in Music."

MUE 595 (3 Credits)

First Steps in Music is a music pedagogy rooted in research, folk literature, and practical experience. It is a fun, engaging, and research-based pedagogy that aligns with our National Standards and is centered in early childhood and primary general music instruction. Participants will safely engage in singing, dancing, playing, and movement activities that lead to immediate “take-aways” to the classroom. This pedagogy is flexible in that it should evolve differently in each classroom, dependent on who and where the participant teaches. This pedagogy is taught through a culturally responsive and relevant lens. Online teaching considerations also will be discussed.

This class meets 8:30am - 3:30pm Mon - Fri. Online Participation available
