Description
What: Nurture a Child’s Body and Brain Through Music and Movement
Who: Connie Greenwood
When: Saturday, February 4, 2023, from 9 to 11 a.m.
In this dynamic, interactive workshop, music educator Connie Greenwood will introduce teachers to the BrainDance, an eight-step music-and-movement sequence that is an excellent body and brain warmup for children. The BrainDance combines aerobic exercise and deep breathing to boost children’s energy levels for learning as well as their attention and focus. The sequence can be done to any kind of music and is based on the eight developmental movement patterns that babies display naturally during their first year of life. Connie Greenwood has a master’s in music education from the Hartt School of Music and is trained in the Kodály method, solfège and First Steps in Music. She has a passion for unleashing the creativity and curiosity of children in a playful, musical manner.
