The integration of music with other subject areas, and in particular language arts, has shown positive outcomes in achieving non-music aims. This workshop aims at illustrating a number of ways in which aspects of music can assist in heritage language learning processes. Specifically, participants will have the chance to engage with music improvisation and composition activities, as well alternative music notation such as verbal scores.
