Building Literacy & Musicianship Skills
July 26–29, 2021
9AM – 11:30AM & 1:30PM – 4PM (EDT)
Dr. Carol Krueger
This dynamic and engaging workshop led by Dr. Carol Krueger presents real world concepts to implement a sound before symbol approach to teaching tonal and rhythm literacy—an approach that will help students learn to read music from the inside out. Specific techniques for developing reading readiness, literacy, audiation, musical memory, improvisation and dictation will also be explored.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Helping students become musically literate is central to the school, community and church music curriculum. While there is much agreement about why we should teach sight singing, there is less agreement about how we should teach those skills. Are we teaching students to be independent musicians or savvy symbol decoders? This dynamic and engaging workshop led by Dr. Carol Krueger will present real world concepts to implement a sound before symbol approach to teaching tonal and rhythm literacy—an approach that will help students learn to read music from the inside out. The TAKADIMI rhythm-pedagogy system, a beat-oriented system whose originators see it as evolving from Gordon’s syllables, will be incorporated as well as a sequence of vocal pitch exercises in graphic form designed to aid the development of aural-oral tonal skills. Specific techniques for developing reading readiness, literacy, audiation, musical memory, improvisation and dictation will also be explored.
