Incorporating pop music into elementary music classrooms can be a valuable tool for fostering musical literacy, cultural awareness, creativity, and joy among students. Let’s dive into an electrifying exploration where we’ll discover ways to seamlessly integrate the pop music your students love with essential musical concepts. We’ll also explore how to enhance learning both with and without materials, as well as creating dynamic performances that engage students and audiences alike. You’ll leave with practical lessons and activities tailored for K-6th grade, empowering students to see themselves reflected in the music they learn and perform.
Hosted in collaboration with Detroit Orff.
