What I hope to share with you are some new and creative ways to introduce the material you are covering. Students today demand stimulation and appreciate creativity. Also students respond to different learning styles so having a variety of ways to present material will help you present alternative teaching approaches. In the time we spend together you will get a chance to try various games and activities to see first hand how to introduce them and consider which promise to be the most effective in meeting your objectives. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - R E G I S T R A T I O N F O R M Please include me in the Keyboard Oriented Music Games and Improvisation Seminar Wednesday, August 6, 2008 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at The Lake Shore Music Studio, Chicago, IL 60610 Name _____________________________ Address____________________________ City ______________State____Zip______ Phone _____________________________ Email ______________________________ Enclosed is my check for $ 69.00 ($35 Student) Materials will be distributed at the seminar Download this as a printable pdf file click here.
