Mix It Up! Brain Breaks in the Music Class
Whether singing, playing instruments, reading and writing notation, creating or listening intently, many skill-based activities in music classes require intense concentration and focus. Incorporating intermittent “brain breaks” throughout your lessons can provide students with much-needed opportunities to relax, recharge, refocus, foster social skills, and create community in the classroom.
In this session, we will actively explore repertoire with a focus on its musical and extramusical benefits. We’ll learn name games, “mixers” and other songs and games along with fun activities designed to get students moving, singing and playing while cultivating a joyful, playful, and relaxed environment for learning.
