Culturally Relevant Teaching & Social Emotional Learning
The music classroom is an engaging place for students to learn about the cultures of the world and explore their heritage. It’s also a place where students can practice socializing and expressing themselves in healthy and positive ways. The resources below feature organizations and webinars with guidance for integrating culturally relevant instruction and social emotional principles in music education at school and music learning at home.
