Harmonizing Minds: Reimagining & Expanding Music in School

Harmonization in music blends unique voices to create a cohesive piece, much like how fostering a positive learning environment integrates diverse abilities, disabilities, personalities, learning styles, and experiences. Music is an underused resource in schools that can help students understand their emotions and peers as well as connect other subjects. Its aesthetic qualities are available to support teachers and therapists with classroom management and self-regulation. This conversation explores music beyond traditional roles and will consider ideas that rethink the arts in education.
