Workshop/ Meeting Calendar

Come learn about and experience the diverse applications of the Schulwerk, specifically in the elementary choral classroom. Re-imagine how to incorporate warm-ups and teaching vocal technique. Learn how to transform vocal warm-ups and folk songs into active and engaging experiences for students that incorporate singing, movement, collaboration, improvisation, creating, resonant speech, instruments, and body percussion. Whether you come from a vocal or instrumental background, synthesizing the Orff approach in an elementary choral classroom will help bring the singing in your classroom to life!

Re-discover your elemental spirit through multiple creative inspiration points! Speak, Sing, Move, and play your way through lessons inspired from many creative springboards! We will explore a day of lessons with clear music concepts at their core, that spring from many inspiration points: Move your students with eurhythmics to build a foundation for strong ensemble skills. Sing to start your creative pathway, Speak with expression as the impetus to building musicianship and compositions. Play ensemble pieces created through movement. Lessons will be appropriate for grades K-5.
