Drawing on years of experience using music in the classroom, Margie offers evening workshops that are uniquely fun and beneficial for teachers in daycare, preschool, early and special education who want to enhance their skills.

Music enhances a curriculum by enlivening the subject matter and generating enthusiasm among kids, and good singing or performing ability is not required for teachers to use it effectively.

Come join Margie for a relaxing, fun-filled evening of learning! Workshops usually last two hours, but the word is out that the time really flies.

Popular Workshops (or you may have one custom-made to fulfill your needs):


“Transition Time”: This workshop will show you how to help children transition easily from one task to the next through the use of music, rhythm and rhymes. This most popular workshop has an accompanying CD of the music presented, so teachers do not have to bring along a tape recorder. Though this workshop is slightly more expensive, it will have a more lasting and helpful effect on your staff’s work with children. All workshops have accompanying lyric packets.

“Get S.I.C.! ~ The Sensory Integrated Classroom”: Children have many different learning styles. This workshop helps you transform your classroom into a multi-sensory environment that enables children to learn in their own style.

“Music by the Month On A Budget”: Learn great ideas to help you teach thematically, without a lot of money in your budget. Tough times make us better teachers-we are forced to think more creatively! A selection of appropriate examples are suggested for use throughout the year.

“Musical Learning Games”: Learn to look at everything as an opportunity to maximize a child's development using simple circle games. Expand Children's developmental goals just by making a few changes in a game you already know; or – think out of the box and create your own!

In 2008, Margie has added a component to ALL her workshops called, “KEEPING KIDS IN THE HAPPY ZONE”. Lately, it seems harder for kids to stay in a happy and positive mood, carefree and relaxed. It doesn’t matter why, it just matters how we as teachers can help. So let Margie help you with some easy and thoughtful tips that are discussed at the beginning of every workshop.

All fees negotiable; please e-mail or phone (860) 526-5794 for a quote that best suits your venue and budget!

Come prepared to laugh, sing, dance and act, and write your own songs!
