Mount Mercy hosts special workshop, 'Teaching through the magic ...

Mount Mercy University will host a special educational workshop by educational consultant, author and performing artist Gary Dulabaum. The workshop, ?Teaching Through the Magic of Song,? will be held on September 27 at 7:00 p.m. in Basile Hall?s Flaherty Community Room. The workshop is free and open to the public, seating may be limited.

As a recording artist of children?s music, Dulabaum understands first-hand the power of music and the performing arts as teaching tools in the everyday classroom. Personal creativity, emotional development, self-expression, good decision making, and the development of the whole child/student is as important as any test score.

Dulabaum is dedicated to developing a classroom experience where language arts instruction would include reading, writing, music, movement, drama, dance, performance poetry, the visual arts, and the study of how rhythm affects and relates to language. These subjects celebrate language and are important tools that people need to be able to clearly and creatively communicate throughout their lives.

Through the years, Dulabaum has witnessed the joy that music and the performing arts bring to the classroom and how it levels the playing/learning field for all students. As a performing arts-based educator, Dulabaum finds inspiration in Dr. Elliot Eisner?s ?Ten Lessons That the Arts Teach,? including his three favorite lessons: The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships; the arts help children learn to say what cannot be said; and the arts make vivid the fact that words do not exhaust what we can know.

Dulabaum?s main teaching tools are music, rhythm, performance poetry and songwriting. He can help create and nurture music and learning in multiple avenues or stages of learning. he has visited thousands of schools across the nation and has presented and entertained at many local, state, regional and national conferences. He has been a regular presenter for the International Reading Association since 1993.

Dulabaum was a guest lecturer in the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Nebraska at Kearney for 12 years, where he taught a series of classes for pre-service and practicing teachers that included using music and the arts to expand, enhance and further develop fluency and comprehension skills, as well as to demonstrate how music is an effective everyday teaching tool that can be used across the curriculum.
