Delight Your Senses: Music, Movement, Language and Art
with JACQUE SCHRADER and RICK LAYTON
This class will be a joyful music and dance making experience, open to all ability levels. There will be opportunities to challenge experienced Orff Schulwerk teachers, however beginners and classroom teachers alike will be engaged and comfortable. All activities are drawn directly from work with pre-school, elementary and middle school students. The class will provide hands on opportunities to explore music, movement, language and stories.
Participants will explore playing pieces using the Orff instruments, as well as using the instruments in accompaniments for songs, simple play parties and games. The participants will also play small percussion instruments including pieces for hand drums. Group arrangements will be created. Those who are comfortable should bring recorders of all voices.
Movement experience will be varied, including creative movement and structured folk dances. The participants will work with traditional riddles and poetry, examine art and dramatize stories.
All skill levels welcome.
