Music Educators: Be on the ground floor and at the

grassroots of Teaching World Music. In its third year, the

Smithsonian Folkways program in World Music Pedagogy
has trained and certified 75 teachers to know more of the
performance of the world’s musical traditions - and how
to teach them to children and youth.

Smithsonian Folkways
Certification Workshop in
WORLD MUSIC PEDAGOGY
June 27-July 1 / 8:30 – 5:00
University of Washington School of Music (Room 313)
Audio, video, print, electronic, and human resources will be sampled in this intensive course, with the aim of
learning as well as developing an understanding of ways to teach music of the world’s cultures. Attention will
be given to learning culture through songs, stories, movement and dance experiences, and instrumental music
on classroom instruments. Participants will be guided in developing curricular materials from the Smithsonian
Folkways archives that fit the needs of students in knowing music (and knowing culture through music).
Musical experiences will be tailored for use at various levels, including in classes for children, youth, and
adults. Enrolled students in the course will develop a curricular project, and will receive documentation from
the Smithsonian Institution that certifies their specialized study in world music pedagogy.

Traditional artist-musicians, culture-bearers, and experienced teachers will form the faculty roster for this
workshop, including:
> Marisol Berrios-Miranda (Puerto Rico)
> Shannon Dudley (Trinidad/Caribbean)
> Kedmon Mapana (Wagogo/East Africa)
> Peter Park (Korean percussion)
> Christopher Roberts (Turkey, Uganda, ‘children’s music’)
> Leon Garcia (Smithsonian Institution’s Folkways Recordings)
> Amanda Soto (Conjunto, Son Jarocho)
> Patricia Shehan Campbell (North India, Bulgaria)
