Dream It, Plan It, Do It! Energize Your Teaching Through
Entrepreneurial Thinking
110 Little - Dr. Josef Hanson, clinician
In this interactive session, participants will discover how to
invigorate their careers and the music scenes at their schools
through the power of entrepreneurial thinking. Entrepreneurship is
not just for businessmen—it’s a process of transforming ideas into
tangible value. Learn how to recognize musical opportunities,
utilize existing resources in new ways, and measure the results of
innovative efforts in light of personal goals and the National
Standards. Each participant will develop a strategic “pocket plan”
for a new musical endeavor of interest-- perhaps a musical
collaboration, curricular innovation, student-run enterprise, or
alternative ensemble.
