Description:
In July 2016 Al-Bustan is pleased to offer another professional development course for Music and Arabic Language Educators. The course is designed to encourage cross-disciplinary teaching and integrate Arab arts and cultural themes across music and language curricula.
Participants will obtain hands-on training with educational resources on aspects of Arab arts and culture. As past participants have noted the need for more beginner-level material, the course will include a repertoire of songs that can be used for a range of skill-levels, ages, as well as mixed-heritage classrooms. In addition to educational resources, instructors will provide participants with a basic understanding of the literary and musical traditions of the Arab World, with an emphasis placed on Al-Andalus. This thematic focus will tie in to a major project“Words Adorned: Andalusian Poetry and Music” that Al-Bustan implemented in 2015 — the material developed for this project will be incorporated in the course.
