Creative Approaches to Active Listening

Listening in music education doesn't have to mean sitting still! This interactive workshop explores dynamic strategies to develop active listening skills using a diverse range of music.

Delegates will discover engaging, ready-to-use classroom ideas that encourage students to listen with attention to detail and express their thoughts using the inter-related dimensions of music. A comprehensive resource pack will be provided to support practical implementation in the classroom.
