September 15, 2018 Richard Lawton "Get your Orff Groove On"
The groove -- it is that wonderful spot where musicians of all skill levels meet to exchange ideas, give and witness testimony, or just hang out and make merry. It is also, Orff teachers know, the spot where the most successful instruction takes place. This workshop will showcase a variety of student-tested strategies designed to spark creativity and to get kids blissfully improvising and collaborating.
