Music education typically focuses on teaching students who want to be musicians or music teachers, but this week’s guest sees it as a vehicle for teaching an entire spectrum of social emotional learning skills. Nadine Levitt is a mother, former opera singer and the founder of WURRLYedu, which uses music to teach children about things like empathy, collaboration, impulse control and so much more. In this episode, she explains how music can help change the way young learners look at the world and broaden their understanding of complex emotions.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How her career as a performer led Nadine to create Wurrlyedu.
- How music can help children learn critical life skills.
- Why using music for social emotional learning is particularly important in our current environment.
