Work Smarter, Not Harder
with Tanya LeJuene and Carrie Nicholas
Saturday, February 10, 2024
Location: Shenandoah University,
Winchester, VA
Double duty songs are an efficient way to work smarter and not harder as students are able to prepare, present, and practice multiple concepts with the same song. In this session, participants will experience a wide variety of song literature and leave with a multitude of ideas for utilizing these songs to promote musical literacy and fluency. We’ll also discuss how songs, games, and activities can be enhanced through the use of technology.
