The ColorSoundation curriculum is a groundbreaking method of early music instruction based on the association of colors, notes, and tones.
Workshops & Seminars
Professional workshops and seminars are available for public and private schools, school districts, non-profit organizations, churches, classroom and private music educators. Workshops are custom designed to meet the needs of each requesting group or organization. Attendees may receive Continuing Professional Unit Credit through the TEA. Workshops may be scheduled as a 90-minute presentation or a half or full day In-Service for Administrators, Special Education and Music Professionals. Select topics may be presented virtually using a Zoom format, but in-person, interactive presentations are highly recommended, if at all possible. “Learn More” to check out some of the topics.
