Amplifying Engagement K-8 Music Educator and Pre-Service Teacher Professional Development
Friday , March 20, 2026
9 AM – 3 PM
App State State Academy at Middle Fork
This FREE Professional Development (PD) is open to pre-service and practicing K-8 elementary music educators interested in relevant, practical tools to apply in their classrooms. This “Amplifying Engagement” professional development day is made possible with grant support from Appalachian State University’s Reich College of Education.
This PD will serve as a preview for the Appalachian State Orff Schulwerk Teacher Education Level I course scheduled for June 15–26, 2026—a nationally recognized program that began in 2002 and has supported countless music educators. By aligning spring and summer offerings, we aim to build momentum for future school partnerships, foster community, and strengthen music education across Western North Carolina.
