EDUCATION THROUGH MUSIC (ETM)
Over the years at South Loop School I have learned about and grown closer to the South Loop students and families. Throughout my tenure I look for programs that will benefit the students learning as well as assist parents with their child’s music education. I currently use Education Through Music (ETM) principles in the music classroom. This program is built on the belief that children must play and have enjoyable learning experiences that build a positive foundation for learning in order to retain the information they learn. It offers a refreshingly different way to approach learning. ETM frees adults to teach and parent in accordance with the joyful nature of children. Through song and play, ETM provides a gateway for contemporary understanding of learning, motivation, child theory and cognitive development. As I attend ETM courses I invite any interested parents to join me and partake in ETM activities that your children play in the general music program at South Loop.
