About the event
Workshop Description
Come sing, play, move, create, and experience joy with Hispanic children’s music traditions. Participants will actively engage in repertoire that the presenter learned from teachers, families, and children while living in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Spain. These cherished activities allow for musical play, movement, improvisation, storytelling, and community building. Song research will be presented and field videos will be shared to demonstrate the songs in authentic contexts. Strategies for integrating the repertoire responsibly into school curriculums and culturally sustaining pedagogies will also be discussed. ¡Ven a cantar y jugar! Come sing and play!
