Tired of the same old concert routine? Looking to breathe new life into your music performances? This dynamic professional development session will inspire music educators with fresh, creative, and practical ideas for student concerts and school performances that go beyond the traditional format.
Explore innovative approaches such as themed concerts, interdisciplinary showcases, interactive audience elements, student-created compositions, movement integration, and virtual or hybrid performance options. Discover how to make performances more inclusive, culturally responsive, and engaging for all students—regardless of experience level.
Participants will leave with a toolkit of adaptable performance ideas, planning templates, and strategies to strengthen collaboration with classroom teachers and the wider school community. Whether you're looking to energize your winter concert, plan an end-of-year celebration, or incorporate student voice into your performances, this session offers inspiration and support for reimagining what’s possible on the stage.
