Recreational Music Making
Teaching with Heart and Mind
Rebecca Bellelo, NCTM, Emily Book McGree, NCTM, and Richard Rejino, chairs
RMM teaching creates opportunities for piano teachers and their students to connect through significant, musical experiences. This year’s track sessions feature practical applications and fun creative tips to help make your teaching more effective and fulfilling. You’ll learn more about teaching students of all ages; you’ll hear about how to engage students individually in a group setting; you will learn about ideas to enrich and supplement group and private lessons. Discover the rewards of embarking on a musical journey with people who have always wanted to play the piano. The future of music making through RMM opens up the world of music and its power to comfort, heal, and inspire potentially millions of new piano students.
