Experience the joy and freedom of a musical experience through the building blocks of an Orff approach. Once the foundation of beat, rhythm, melody, and movement is laid then we can use these building blocks to move into creative spaces. This workshop will introduce those building blocks through engaging activities and link them to the Arts Education Curriculum. Come prepared to participate - move, sing, and play!
