Description

Creativity is a BIG word. But getting started doesn't have to feel quite so hairy scary. Why? Because it really comes down to one thing: student choice.

Today I'm talking about how to implement a few strategies to begin offering your students choice and facilitate creativity in your elementary music classroom today.

Here are some of the things we talk about:

• Convergent vs. Divergent thinking and why both have a place in the classroom.
• How to start giving students choice and using creativity without it feeling scary (to you OR them!)
• The first steps you need to get your students improvising.
