MAGIC OF MUSIC TEACHER TRAINING
What improves kids’ focus and concentration, reduces stress, fully engages them, and can be calming as well as energizing? MUSIC!
Learn how to use music, rhythm, and song to captivate and focus children in this high-energy, experiential workshop. You’ll have a blast as you learn how to incorporate rhythm and song into your work with children, making your classes and programs incredibly engaging and fun.
Kira will demonstrate her teaching methods using original music from her award-winning CDs of kids’ yoga songs, as well as playing live. She’ll guide you in creating your own rhythm games and songs—with a focus on combining music and movement—to facilitate transitions, re-focus children, and create calming, predictable structure in your programs; and will help you choose the perfect music for your teaching needs.
You’ll practice teach, using what you've learned, and leave totally inspired, with tons of ideas to incorporate into your classroom, kids’ yoga program, or counseling sessions right away! Come play, move, and sing with Kira!
