Join me in this fun and interactive day-long experience where we explore music from this underrepresented community. Despite being the third-largest Asian subcategory (Budiman & Ruiz, 2021), the Filipino identity and their music are rarely represented in the curriculum (Coloma, 2013). Participants will learn about the rich culture, language, and history of the Philippines while engaging in some fun and exciting music activities. You are sure to receive new repertoire that will enhance and broaden your classroom experiences!

This workshop will cover instrument adaptations in correlation with adaptive notation, as well as avenues for communication such as AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Participants will have opportunities to try different materials, instruments, and technologies as they apply to their classroom, with the focus given to creating adapted notations and communication boards through apps such as Musescore and ChatterBoards. Emphasis will be given to developing materials through the lens of Universal Design for Learning so that every student is engaged and empowered through their music education experience.
This programming is supported by the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
