The Music Crew Virtual Conference 2020

Description

These virtual courses, presented by members of The Music Crew, offer practical strategies to engage students and develop their music skills and literacy. Drawing on years of collective experience, Music Crew Members share insights that are practical, effective, and adaptable. While many sessions are geared toward elementary music educators, several also support instruction at the middle and high school levels. Participants will receive a certificate of completion for professional development hours.

Please note: All sessions were originally offered for free and made available for a limited time in The Music Crew Collaborative Facebook Group. As a result, some presentations may reference past sales or Facebook-exclusive content that is no longer active or relevant.
