Listen Later

In this episode, we delve into the rich connections between Jamaican music and the Orff approach, with our guest, Javel Perriel.


Javel shares his unique journey of integrating these elements in his music teaching practice. From discussing how he uses reggae music in his Orff instruction to explaining the creation of his book, which beautifully merges STEM science, technology, engineering, and math with music and literacy, Javel provides valuable insights. He also offers advice to music teachers on incorporating cultural music into their classrooms and incorporating STEM into their music lessons.


This is a must-listen for teachers seeking innovative ways to enrich their music classrooms.
