Cue the Learning: Where Music Meets Meaningful Support
Thursday May 28, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am CDT
Room 312
This session will define music therapy in the school setting. We will outline the difference between music therapy, music education, and the therapeutic use of music. Participants will learn ways to bring music into the educational environment to support all students. Additional time will be spent on how music strategies may be used to support neurodivergent learners in the areas of communication, functional skills, academics, social-emotional skills, and motor skills. Session attendees will participate in live music demonstrations and leave with resources for future use.
Materials: Presenters will need access to a projector to display the presentation. All other materials will be provided by the presenters.
