Participants will embark on a creative journey that explores the intersection of music and the natural world. Through practical examples, educators will discover how music can serve as a bridge to connect students with the natural world, explore scientific concepts through sound, and leverage technology to enhance music instruction. For example, by overlaying leaf profiles onto music staves, teachers can unlock unique melodies that reflect the beauty of nature. Furthermore, mapping scientific data to musical notes presents an opportunity to explore complex concepts in an auditory way.
