Start the Year with Creativity
All children are creative . . . and you are too! Join us for a session featuring Orff-based strategies for enhancing children's creative spirits and creative thinking in music. From movement, to listening, to speech and singing, to instrumental play, we have multiple ways of engaging children in musical thinking and musical creation. The workshop will include strategies and materials for young children and older learners, and opportunities for improvising, composing, as well as other ways of creating in and with music. Bring a recorder, and join in the fun!
