I’m thrilled to be part of this virtual event, Marvelous Multicultural Music Books for Your Classroom Summit!
This summit is specifically for educators who want to bring authentic global perspectives into their music rooms but often feel overwhelmed by where to start or how to do so with cultural sensitivity.
The Mission: We want to empower teachers with practical tools and authentic resources to celebrate world music, helping them create a more inclusive and globally-minded curriculum.
Friday, November 13th – Sunday, November 15th
It’s FREE! Sign up here.
