Saturday Series
Dr. Audrey Berger Cardany
Workshop Coordinator, Music Education Division
The Saturday Series, presented by the Music Education Department of the Peabody Conservatory, is a series of professional development workshops offered on Saturdays during the spring months. Each year, vocal and general music teachers learn innovative teaching techniques and explore engaging activities for their students in elementary and middle school general/vocal music classrooms. Participants have the option of earning graduate credit.
Clinicians bring a wide variety of experiences and expertise. Through active participation teachers will:
1) expand their knowledge and skills,
2) build a repertoire of songs and activities,
3) share experiences and strategies, and
4) connect with fellow music teachers!
We sing. We move. We Play. We listen.
We invite you to join us for the 2013 Saturday Series. See Clinician Biographies and Workshop Descriptions for more information. For registration information, including fees for workshops & graduate credit options, download Registration Form here. Information for requesting transcripts is available here.
