Fine Arts Council Conference 2025: Arts Unleashed

In this workshop, we will explore the culture of the Philippines and how elementary educators can apply these teachings in a musical classroom. As first-generation Filipino-Canadians, we understand the importance of inclusivity and diversity in the curriculum. We have seen and experienced the positive impact representation has on all students. From a Kodaly and Orff lens, we will share Filipino folk music, games, dances, and additional resources that have been successful and meaningful in the classroom. We hope to provide the knowledge and confidence for teachers to share Filipino music and culture with their students.
