Make Mine Music SLP Workshop Links 2/23/18

This project was funded in part with a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services which administers the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Division for Libraries & Technology

It was great to join so many colleagues from the northeastern side of Wisconsin for some fun times surrounding planning for summer ...and contemplating change.

Here are some of the links I shared with you

Idea Sharing from the workshop:

MUSIC

Ukekeles are inexpensive way to invest to create hands-on music with kids

Consider getting a sponsor(s) from small business(es) to sponsor programs or food for events.

Create songwriting books for teens monthly meetings where attendees can work on songwriting skills; once a year open mic night.

Community Outreach – look into non-profit arts group who often need to do community outreach.

Do Dance Party “Rock n Stroller” CDs…highlight your CD collection.

Street party- block street off if your library is small. Or use nearby park.

Work with your schools that do music. Create an instrument petting zoo and ask high school kids to bring their instruments and demonstate how it is played.

Not a singer, no problem..use rhythm.  

Don’t apologize for singing.
