Past MLT-Related Workshops and Professional Development

Motivation through Understanding
Piano Workshop with Janna Olson
Yorkton, SK
Saturday, December 15, 2018
1:00-3:00 p.m.

All children have music aptitude but not all of them are motivated!  Regardless of “talent” or work ethic, music lessons can be focused on the development of deep intrinsic motivation that comes from musical understanding.  We can help our students achieve a love and understanding of music that builds independence and confident musical skills including healthy technique integrated in all aspects of lessons.   This session will explore ways of building a meaningful music vocabulary for any type of student.
