We invite you to join us for a day of “Finding Brilliance in the Music Room” on Saturday, September 26th.  We look forward to joining Franklin Willis, Czarina Jimenez, Joanne Shenandoah and several KONY members: Madolyn Accola, Peter Creekmore, Joan Litman, and Juan Carlos Tavarez, to learn about culturally responsive teaching and social and emotional learning through music.  Prepare for the new school year with Franklin Willis’ sessions, “How to F.I.N.D. Brilliance in Our Students” and "Hip Hop in the Elementary Music Classroom," Czarina Jimenez’s session, “The Sound of Stories,” and a full day of workshops including a keynote address on Native American music by Joanne Shenandoah.  Workshops will be held between 9am and 4pm EST with a break for lunch.  Sessions will be recorded and available to registrants for 30 days following the event.  The cost is $25 before September 14th using code EARLYBIRD and $30 until registration closes on September 24th.  Current OAKE members receive $5 off registration.  Click the link above to register and pay online.  Registrants will be emailed Zoom webinar information.  Please email konylist@gmail.com with any questions.
