About the Artist
Lindsay Clark is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and writer, bringing 10+ years of experience as an educator, whose music has been featured on NPR, Popmatters, Oregon Arts and many other publications. She has toured throughout Europe and the US.
Teaching Philosophy
Her teaching philosophy includes that music is a language that can be learned, and that immersion is part of acquiring that language. She focuses on social emotional learning and resiliency for students to meet challenges and explore new skills.
Testimonial
I don't have a quote for this specifically, but I do have a lot of parent testimonials from students I have taught. Let me know what might work or I can dig a little for something like this.
Program Description
Lindsay (Teaching Artist) will lead the class in a group songwriting activity over five days which will include listening, harmony, melody, lyric writing, recording and reflection. Students will be encouraged to develop listening / aural skills, singing (community building), self-expression (writing / communication), mood and feeling awareness (social emotional learning / self regulation), reflection and inquiry (through listening and feedback). The structure of the 5 sessions will use scaffolding to build on the previous sessions material, eventually culminating in a finished piece. The class will work together or in small groups to compose one or more songs, depending on the goals of the residency.
