Southeast Regional Practicum: January 17-18, 2023
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
The Southeast Regional Practicum is designed to convene Teaching Artists from El Sistema-inspired and community music programs across the Southeast, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Over two full days in-person, participants gain new skills and tools that directly support the continued growth of their teaching practice as they hear from expert clinicians, reflect together through collaborative conversations, observe teaching artistry in real-time, and build a network of peer Teaching Artists.
We look forward to meeting you January 17-18 at the Southeast Regional Practicum in Newport News, VA, hosted by Soundscapes.
