Teacher Workshops
Enhancing Stories With Music
Grade Level: K – 3
Length: 60-minutes to 2-hours
Music adds an exciting participatory element to storytelling.
In addition, research indicates that exposing children to musical rhythms
and rhymes increases their reading ability, interpretation, retention,
and application of books. This workshop showcases specific elementary
level books that feature the use of rhythm and accompanying musical
activities. Suggestions include rhythmic repetition of phrases, repetitive
choruses that can be sung throughout a book, chants that encourage rhythm
and dynamics, and use of simple musical instruments. Even the non-musical
teacher will leave this workshop eager to incorporate music in his or
her classroom.
