The answer involves engagement\, attention and the neuroscience of learning. In this edWebinar\, global learning expert Dr. Lana Israel shares with you science and data behind music-based learning. Discover ways to sustain student interest—in class and in remote learning environments. Learn how to boost student performance and motivation. Find out how this approach has taken students from failing to passing quizzes in a single web-based session! \nIn the presentation\, Dr. Israel also shares the tenets of active learning she discovered on her personal journey from inquisitive teenager (who pioneered the educational applications of mind mapping) to Harvard/Oxford graduate and beyond. \nIn this time of uncertainty\, student engagement is as important as ever. Learning gaps due to school closures have been compounded by the summer slide. We hope that this edWebinar equips you with innovative ways of supercharging the learning process and starting this school year with fun\, new and exciting options for your students. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to elementary through high school teachers and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Lana Israel is the Founder/CEO of Muzology\, a music-based learning company located in Nashville\, TN. A globally recognized learning expert\, Dr. Israel published her first book on memory at age 13. This launched Dr. Israel’s career\, while a teenager\, as an international speaker and consultant on memory\, learning and creativity. Dr. Israel is a Harvard and Oxford educated Rhodes Scholar whose scientific research has been cited over 800 times. She has been recognized with numerous awards including a trip to the Nobel Prizes. Prior to founding Muzology\, Dr. Israel pioneered data analytics strategies and worked with global superstars in the music industry. \n \nChris Blue emerged as the Season 12 victor of The Voice on Team Alicia Keys. He captured the hearts of millions with his raw vocal talent\, heartfelt honesty\, and brave vulnerability. His rendition of Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” and “Take Me To The King” proved show-stopping\, while a duet with Keys on “Diamonds and Pearls” brought the house down. Keys shared some invaluable wisdom with her team member. “Alicia looked at me and said\, ‘Make sure you focus on being in the moment. Don’t try to do anything; BE IT. We’re human ‘beings’ not ‘do-ings.’” That stuck with Chris. “Now\, when I get out there\, I lose myself in that moment.” Following his victory\, Chris inked a deal with Republic Records and entered the studio to work on his forthcoming full-length debut. Drawing on diverse influences he artfully unites Motown\, pop\, and soul into a sound of his own. “The energy you feel\, the message you hear\, and the light you see comes from my faith regardless of the genre.” That honesty builds a lasting connection for Chris Blue. “I want to give the world hope. I want people to walk away with hope in their relationships\, their loved ones\, and themselves. I want them to be inspired.” \n \nAbout the Host \nJoyce Whitby is the president of Innovations4Education. She is a lifelong educator who spent over ten years teaching graduate-level courses in educational technology at Long Island University\, where\, in 1984\, she developed the T.E.A.M. program (Telecommunications\, Education\, and Multimedia).

Most notably she has developed strategic sales initiatives targeting complex and urban environments for several organizations including WICAT Systems\, Jostens Learning\, Scientific Learning\, Apple Computer\, Monarch Teaching Technologies (makers of VizZle\, an app for students with autism)\, and the education group of West Corporation (SchoolMessenger solutions). She has been an active member of SIIA for over 15 years. \nJoin the Inspire Learning & Engagement community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n \nMuzology is a nationally-recognized\, learning company dedicated to enhancing performance through the power of music.

SUMMARY:Music and Early Learning: Supporting Families in Making Music at Home
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz\, Director of Research\, Music Together Worldwide\, and Professor Emeritus\, Rowan University\nHosted by Lisa Chouteau\, Senior Video Producer and Manager of Video Production\, Music Together Worldwide \nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nThis edWebinar explores the ways in which participatory and enjoyable adult-child music activities in live\, synchronous\, and asynchronous learning experiences can engage parents and caregivers in their child’s learning\, enhance the home learning environment\, promote family engagement with the school\, and support a strong child-teacher-family connection. \nFamily engagement in early childhood has been viewed as a predictor of children’s early learning skills and later school success. Now\, with more young children and educators engaged in distance learning\, and parents and caregivers finding themselves in the position of educator-at-home\, it’s even more important to find enjoyable\, quality\, and accessible ways to engage parents and caregivers in their child’s early learning. Music can be an enjoyable\, cognitively stimulating\, and literacy-rich activity for children and parents to engage in together. \nThis edWebinar provides ideas for involving parents in their child’s music learning and music making at home. Educators who work with young children in daycares\, preschools\, pre-kindergarten\, and kindergarten classes will gain ideas for engaging young children and their parents and primary caregivers in music learning experiences that use developmentally appropriate music activities to not only support music development but also provide parents with new ways to use music throughout their day\, supporting their child’s learning at home\, relieving parent and caregiver stress\, getting kids up and moving\, and just having fun as a family. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nLili M. Levinowitz\, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Music Education at Rowan University. She is the co-author of the early childhood music and movement program\, Music Together\, and Director of Research for Music Together Worldwide. Dr. Levinowitz is considered a national authority on early childhood music and is actively involved in teaching very young children as well as graduate students. Her articles appear frequently in professional journals and popular magazines. She received her M.M. and Ph.D. from Temple University and her B.M. from Westminster Choir College. \n \nAbout the Host \nLisa Chouteau is the Music in Early Learning edWebinar series host. She is the senior video producer and manager of video production at Music Together Worldwide and holds a B.S. in business administration\, training\, and development from The College of New Jersey. Lisa is also an Emmy Award-winning television producer of public affairs and educational programming for Public Television and cable networks across the country. \n  \nJoin the Music in Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nAt Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.
