The SCAC is partnering with Wolf Trap Institute for an exceptional opportunity to make performing arts come alive to young learners.
Sign up now for three, one-hour guided experiences in MUSIC, DRAMA, and DANCE. Participants will work with a Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artist to break down an art form into its fundamental elements and apply those elements to strategies for learning in all domains: virtual, hybrid, and in-person early childhood spaces.
These are FREE and open to all, but early childhood educators and teaching artists might benefit most. Register for each workshop individually:
Day 1 | May 30 | Music with Sue Trainor
