Little Kids Rock Partnership Update
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to update you on the status of the City of Miami
Beach's partnership with Little Kids Rock to bring culturally relevant music education to Miami
Beach students. A component of the partnership provides modern band professional
development, curricular resources, and musical instruments to music teachers supporting
music access and education to our youth.
As such, music teachers across Miami Beach are invited to participate in a new Composing
through Songwriting professional learning course for instrumental, vocal and/or general music
professionals. The course will provide each participant with the following:
• Learn to teach students to collaboratively compose and produce songs
• Access to an online digital audio workstation (DAW) such as Soundtrap
• Project-Based Learning (PBL} unit that incorporates Social Emotional Learning
• New virtual strategies focusing on composing and songwriting using music production
• Curricular projects and activities for music students (band, choir, orchestra, modern
band, and others)
• Unlimited access to new curricular materials and online resources
• Participation in a community of more than 3,000 music teachers from across the
country
Miami Beach music teachers may sign up now for the workshop that will be held on
November 7, 2020, from 9:00 am -- 3:30 pm by visiting bit.ly/LKRsignup and selecting Miami
Composing through Songwriting 101. There is no cost to participate.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld, Chief
Learning and Development Officer.
