Singing for Everyone – June 24-28 (half week, Sat. to Wed.)
Ann Kay
Come have fun making music in a different way each day—no past musical training needed! Why? Because singing and moving enhance our vitality, health, wellbeing, brain development, achievement, and even longevity. We’ll sing songs and play singing games, improve our sense of beat and pitch (those who register will be sent information about downloading apps in advance on your smartphone). Learn the secret of why rounds work, experience an easy way to read music notation, perform conducting patterns, and write a rap, poem, or song. Optional: 10-minute private vocal coaching session.
Ann Kay, education coordinator for the nonprofit Rock ‘n’ Read Project, teaches courses for classroom teachers in how to use singing strategies to improve students’ reading, and has authored A Song a Day: Brain Prep for Pre-Readers. Ann is a retired elementary music teacher, choir director, and instructor of music teachers.
