My work as a teaching artist involves lighting up students' imaginations, and bringing out their unique expressions of creativity in whatever area of learning we're exploring.
Like other arts, singing, playing instruments, movement and storytelling engage the students' multiple intelligences to support their learning. There are both direct and indirect connections. For instance: learning numbers through fingerplays; colors, shapes, letter sounds, and positional concepts through songs; learning language skills, vocabulary, sequencing and narrative form through singing games and storytelling activities; problem-solving and motor skills through instrument-making. Concepts such as rhythm, pitch, dynamics and associated patterns are important in creating pathways in each student's cognitive development that form the underpinning for their learning and memory skills.
