Indigenous Beats, Indigenous Songs – The Connection between Music and Learning in Native Early Childhood Education

November 7 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

In so many classrooms, languages are taught by taking English songs and translating them into another language. Join us to explore the power of Indigenous sounds, songs, and beats in the teaching and learning environment: What possibilities exist for educators of Native early learners to use Indigenous songs, Indigenous rhythms, and Indigenous beats as part of the curriculum? How can we use music with Native early learners to teach language and culture? What might we discover about our chants, music, and melodies that enriches the learning in a Native early childhood setting? What role might Indigenous music and sound play in development of literacy, language, and gross and fine motor skills? How can we create increased opportunities to infuse Indigenous language learning with innovative, creative, and artistic learning and teaching? Register now.
