Thank you to our partners @berkleecollege for hosting an amazing Educational Initiative event!
Educators and artists were featured and discussed social justice in music education through the music and cultural traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians and Afro-New Orleans culture.
The Band and Orchestra Session centered around the rhythms of New Orleans as the foundation to the music for the city and region. Students worked through syncopation activities - which you can implement in your classroom for music making.
We also all performed 2 songs from the Take Me To The River New Orleans film that are featured in @berkleepulse lesson plans!
