For all class teachers, music teachers, parents and lovers of music:
What does the child of the 21st century need in terms of music?
How does one choose the right music for the right grade?
How do children need to be challenged in music?
How does one inspire the motivation to make music?
My workshops will:
help you to use music in the classroom in a fun, creative way including the
use of musical games, improvisation and much more
develop a solid music curriculum for the school
provide you with carefully selected songs from Grades 1-8 and many insights for High school
present you with songs which meet childrens' needs and pose the right challenges for them while explaining the underlying importance of the music
include everything from Medieval to Classical period with an emphasis on folk music and multicultural music
integrate newly designed instruments, Orff instruments and recorders in a creative way
create rhythm work using body percussion, games and instruments such as shakers, drums, boomwhackers etc.
teach rhythmic perfomance pieces for numerous styles including African drumming and Brazilian Samba.
Designed specificially for:
lower grades: lyres, pentatonic flutes, creative music games, appropriate songs for each class
middle grades: energetic songs, rhythm-games and exercises, performance pieces
