Educators know that students are more engaged in learning and more successful when they see themselves represented in the curricula. What has become increasingly clear is that, while essential to the elementary music experience, traditional and folk musics are not always sufficient to provide students with a comprehensive music education that actively affirms and validates their musical vocabulary, which is most often rooted in popular music. This workshop will provide participants with a wide variety of strategies for engaging elementary-aged students in joyful, active music making through popular music. Interacting with pop music allows students to demonstrate their “musical literacy” through a wide variety of modalities, with an eye towards fostering a more inclusive and equitable elementary educational experience for all students.
