ETM-LA presents TWO Virtual Music Teacher Training Sessions!

• Spring Repertoire Reading for Choir and General Music (9:55-11:15am)
• Transformative SEL with Darlene Machacon (11:30-12:30pm)

Please join us for these virtual sessions as we continue to explore the intersections of music education, culturally responsive repertoire, and social emotional learning (SEL). Attendance is open to all - no prerequisites required other than a passion for music education!

Participants will be joined by ETM-LA Music Teachers and program staff members for these events. Attendees will be granted access to the Zoom link once registration is complete.

We look forward to seeing you virtually on February 26, 2022, 9:55am - 12:30pm!
