Professional Development
Susan provides professional development in many settings: schools, colleges, national and international conferences. She works collaboratively with composers, musicians, set designers, artists and script writers to develop original performance material. She supervises and leads classroom teachers to support their students as they create original productions.
Susan provides teachers with curriculum in poetry, song, movement with classical, world music and instruments.
Her professional development sessions are active and engaging, after which teachers can apply the resources immediately in their classrooms. These training sessions help teachers to understand the method so that they can create their own materials. Each session is framed with research that addresses how to maximize each child’s capacity to learn. Her materials lay the foundation for children to be lifelong learners, with an appreciation and joy of musical experiences.
