Designed as a booster/refresher/energizer for those who wish to gain new ideas or concepts, these workshops are almost as good as a summer vacation, but much less expensive!

 

THE WORKSHOPS:

Vocal Pedagogy, June 10-12.  For all who teach voice, whether in the choral rehearsal or in the studio.  Dr. Scott McCoy of The Ohio State University is the headliner, with Webster faculty sharing in their respective areas of expertise.  Last year's workshop was a big hit!  http://www.webster.edu/fine-arts/departments/music/summer-programs/vocal-pedagogy.html

 

Theory Pedagogy, June 11-13.  Designed for those who work with middle school and high school students, and especially helpful for those who find themselves teaching a theory class or module, but who may never have thought about how to teach music theory and aural skills.  Dr. Carla Colletti brings latest research, humor, and loads of experience to this workshop.  http://www.webster.edu/fine-arts/departments/music/summer-programs/theory-pedagogy.html

 

Jazz Pedagogy, June 24-26. We know jazz when we hear it, but how do we teach it?  Webster University joins with Jazz St. Louis to present the collected wisdom of faculty jazz masters and Saint Louis-area jazz gurus in this workshop specifically designed for music educators.  http://www.webster.edu/fine-arts/departments/music/summer-programs/jazz-pedagogy-workshop.html

 

Finale Boot Camp, July 15-19.  You own Finale.  Now what?  This boot camp, led by adjunct professor Tim Garcia, will give you the skills necessary to use this software effectively, and provide numerous ideas about integrating Finale into your teaching.  http://www.webster.edu/fine-arts/departments/music/summer-programs/finale_boot_camp.html
