The Orff_Schulwerk is an approach to music education that engages<br />
students in musical literacy, formal and critical analysis, improvisation<br />
and composition. Students in an Orff‐Schulwerk classroom<br />
compose music, play instruments, sing alone and with others,<br />
dance, write poetry and other lyrics, experiment with form and<br />
actively engage in the creative process. This course will deepen the<br />
participants' understanding of this nationally recognized approach<br />
and provide them with the content knowledge to implement it in<br />
their classrooms.<br />

Recorders Plus: General <strong>Music</strong> Using Classroom Instruments :<br />
Donna Nagle, Instructor.<br />
Many music teachers teach soprano recorders in the third and/or fourth grade as a<br />
means of developing note reading skills. But did you know that you can use the<br />
recorder for much more by developing your own playing skills? The recorder makes<br />
a great accompaniment instrument and saves your voice from having to sing all<br />
day. This course will include a course of study for beginning recorder players plus<br />
many ways of leading other activities with the recorder. Come play and sing and<br />
dance and things for two full days of musicianship training.<br />
