Pam has presented workshops and seminars for teachers at conferences, at schools, and at County Offices of Education, for two decades.

Teacher workshops are available to be presented at your school or district office. Material will complement an integrated approach to your curriculum, and may be tailored to specific grade levels. Presenting curriculum musically helps children learn. Young children learn from rhythm and patterns. When we are musical we are using different parts of our brain. These workshops can help you bring music into your classroom for at least 5 minutes a day, in a fun, easy and comfortable way. Multiple intelligences and state framework addressed.
