Singing is a whole-brain activity. Songwriting strategies for creating and producing melody and rhythm address Music standards, while Language Arts standards, such as identification of a main idea, exploration, organization, and restatement using imagination and poetic language skills, are enhanced and taught at the same time.
In this residency, each teacher will select a song topic for the class from current curriculum. In addition to learning about songwriting tools and structure, students will manipulate the content using higher level thinking as they apply their knowledge, experience, and perspective to the task. An excellent curriculum assessment tool, the potential uses for songwriting as an integrated classroom application are endless.
