Teaching Musicianship in the Choral Setting
Join us for a survey of audiation skill learning sequences and activities designed to enhance a performer’s musical abilities. Enjoy two 6 hour sessions with Andy Mullen in an insightful and engaging atmosphere.
- Explore classroom activities that build practical audiation skills. Edwin Gordon’s Music Learning Theory (MLT) will be touched on as it relates to classroom learning activities.
- Attendees can expect to sing, move, and improvise while learning how to incorporate singing, movement, and improvisation with their own students.
- Learn the application of audiation skills towards reading musical notation with your students.
- Attendees will earn a certificate of completion to use towards Continuing Professional Education for their state certification requirements. Attendees will be provided with both a physical and digital pdf format of said certificate.
About the Presenter
Andy Mullen holds a Masters Degree in Music Education and School Administration, and is a faculty member of the Gordon Institute for Music Learning (GIML) in Elementary General and Choral music.
Andy has taught all levels of students in a number of subjects, and is currently a middle school General Music teacher and choir director in Burlington, Massachusetts. He is also the author of 3 books and creator of “The Improving Musician with Andy Mullen” Youtube channel.
Andy says, “In the past few years, I have learned things from teachers that I wish I knew 30 years ago. In particular, through recent explorations of Body Mapping and the Music Learning Theory of Edwin Gordon, I have discovered things about the way the body and brain work together to learn music. Again, these are concepts I wish I had known years ago! To that end, I am giving this information to my students (and all future students) with the hope that they don’t waste years of their musical lives operating with faulty technique as I did.”
We are thrilled to welcome him to San Antonio to bring engaging ideas and inspiration to our choral classrooms!
