Schedule a Book Talk for your music team on the main topics from my book, Music As a Vehicle: A Practical Guide to Implementing Culturally Responsive Teaching in Today’s Music Classrooms!
Ready to equip your music team with a powerful resource they’ll use again and again? Book a Music As a Vehicle Book Talk for your team today!
Book talks are 90-minute interactive learning sessions delivered virtually or in-person on the four main areas of the book, plus an opportunity for me to walk you and your group through how to use it as a powerful resource to support their instruction. Plus each book talk comes with books for every participant!
In a book talk, participants will learn:
- Why developing a mindset to “see” equity is the pivotal first step towards creating a culturally responsive music program
- How moving beyond knowing students, to understanding them helps you to create the conditions necessary for an affirming learning environment where teachers and students work in partnership
- How to leverage repertoire to support a culturally responsive music program beyond just being “diverse”
- Ways to center music curriculum development around relevant, real-world contexts of music making that demonstrate to students why music matters
Book talks are for school, district, and organization K-12 music teams as well as college/university music education students who are looking to learn more about practical, culturally responsive practices for the K-12 music classroom.
Here’s what past Book Talk participants have shared!
