Sing! Dance! Play!
July 10th-12th, 2026
We're just days away from one of our favorite events of the year—the Sing, Dance, Play Summer Symposium 2026!
Our team is busy making final preparations, packing instruments, scarves, stretchy bands, and plenty of ideas to share as we get ready for three days of music-making, learning, and inspiration in Washington, D.C.

Join John Jacobson, Stacy Werner, Katie Grace Miller, Susan Brumfield and many MORE special guests for engaging, hands-on sessions designed to energize your teaching and send you into the new school year feeling inspired.
