SUMMARY:The Power of Balance: A Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Balance: A community of practice for educators to find joy\, connect\, reflect\, and create songs together. Each workshop will be unique and build toward a final group creation. No prior musical knowledge is necessary\, though all skills are welcomed. Some segments of these workshops will include exercises\, but there will also be ample opportunity for discovery and entering a creative flow—a mindset characterized by imaginative play and restorative benefits. As the aim is to foster a community of practice\, meeting others in a safe and collaborative environment will be encouraged\, along with personal exploration.
