Personal Details

Bio

As the CEO of Soaring Scarves Academy, I am deeply committed to revolutionizing music education through the integration of movement, storytelling, and building musical literacy. Our philosophy revolves around the belief that "music is movement, and movement is learning," emphasizing the intrinsic connection between physical engagement and musical understanding. Through our platform, we provide educators with comprehensive resources and training to seamlessly incorporate movement into their lessons, allowing students to actively engage with music.

At Soaring Scarves Academy, we recognize the power of storytelling as a means of connecting students to music on a deeper level. By weaving narratives and themes into music lessons, teachers can captivate students' imaginations and create memorable learning experiences. Through our training programs, we equip educators with the skills to integrate storytelling techniques that enhance musical literacy and foster a deeper appreciation for music.

Additionally, we emphasize the importance of "moving through music," encouraging educators to explore movement as a means of interpreting and expressing musical ideas. By incorporating activities such as dance, body percussion, and creative movement, teachers can provide students with kinesthetic experiences that reinforce musical concepts and enhance their overall understanding. Through our guidance and support, educators learn to create dynamic and interactive classrooms where students actively participate in their musical journey, building both literacy and a lifelong love for music.
