Michelle Benjamin, our 6th-grade beginning band teacher at Central Woodlands and Northern Trails, will be presenting this year at the 2023 Michigan Music Conference at DeVos place in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday, January 21st at 10 AM.
The title of the presentation is Mindfulness for Beginning Band.
Description:
Realistic and useful techniques to focus students on their learning, so they are fully present in your band room. Make targets, such as good posture and breath support, meaningful through movement games, as well as activities to relax the body and mind. Deepen connections with your students through restorative practices and a growth mindset, which also includes how the brain learns. |
