Storytime: How to add a music lesson to your favorite picture books

Presented by Kathryn Finch & Abigail Blair

Time: Tuesday July 13, 14:00 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

Everyone loves a story, but when children’s literature is given a musical twist, magic happens. In this session, we invite you to view picture books through a new lens, one that gives any children’s book a musical purpose. Each lesson presented in this session offers strategies for introducing a book, bringing it to life through music, and then exploring the music concept introduced in the lesson more deeply. If you love children’s books as much as we do, and want to learn how to create your own musical lessons with your favorite children’s books, this is the session for you!

Participants will learn:

-To identify how a book’s structure can lend itself to music

-Examples of innovative book interpretations

-How to expand on the music concept introduced in the book for a deeper learning experience
