Music Literacy: More Than Notes on a Page!

The New Bern High School Choral Booster Club (501c3) is hosting Dr. Carol Krueger for a workshop on music literacy Wednesday, July 16 - Friday, July 18, 2025 in beautiful New Bern, NC. A certificate for CEUs will also be awarded at the conclusion of the workshop. Helping individuals become musically literate is central to the school, community, and church music curriculum. Working from the premise that students learn musical skills in much the same order as they do language skills, participants will explore how we ‘learn’ music through hearing and imitating patterns before reading and writing. The pedagogy also includes sequential techniques for teaching improvisation and dictation, key components of music literacy. Workshop participants will also be presented with teaching strategies and techniques for integrating and applying literacy skills to appropriate repertoire. Special attention will be given to the development of music literacy curriculum maps and diction maps. J.W. Pepper is proud to provide reading session materials for this event!
