     ORFF SCHULWERK:  ACTIVITIES TO USE IN THE CLASSROOM
    Please join us for an extraordinary session with Jay Broeker, an expert in Orff Schulwerk.  Our activities will be simple

    but also why they are important and how they relate to our entire curriculum.  You won't want to miss this outstanding session!
    Your students will be very excited to experience these new ideas!

    "The Sequence of Short, Long, and Silence"  a visual and kinesthetic approach.
    Presenter Jenny Cooper will share with us in the morning a process for teaching rhythmic notation, which includes movement,
    instrument playing, reading, and drawing.  This practical approach is introduced during the kindergarten year and
    expanded with each succeeding year.    Participants will actively partake ineach of the sequential steps.
     
    Handbell/Handchime Technique and Integration in the Orff Curriculum
    The afternoon workshop will be a general overview of handbells/handchimes and their use in the
    classroom.  Participants will be introduced to basic ringing technique on bells and chimes, and
    view notation that is unique to bells.  Activities and lessons incorporating bells and chimes
    will demonstrate the ease and enjoyment that bells and chimes provide students.  Handbell and
    handchime resources and methods will be shared followed by a question and answer session.
    The workshop requires no previous handbell experience, but will encourage educators to
    implement bells and chimes into their own curriculum.

     AFRICAN HAND DRUMMING FROM AFRICA TO AMERICA
    Come explore the world of West African hand drumming from it's roots in the heart of Mother Africa to it's applications
    in education, therapy and community/team building in America today.  Together we will learn fun and easy West African
    polyrhythms on Nigerian ashiko hand drums along with African songs and dance steps.  Fons will show you how to discover
    your own personal 'drum song' and the art of improvisation in a drum circle setting.  We will also discuss the role drumming
    plays in West Africa and how it came to the United States, as well as view footage of traditional West African drumming
    and dance.
