WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Saturday, January 22nd

The Sweet Sound of Harmony
with Brent Hall
hosted by the Calgary Chapter of CARL ORFF CANADA
1pm - 2pm (AST)
In this session we’ll celebrate the timbres of the Orff instruments as we look at their justification and use in the music classroom. We will analyze and listen to arrangements and explore improvisations and tapestries of sound that display the beautiful sound colors of the Orff orchestra. We’ll talk, sing, play, and listen. What are the joys of Orff Schulwerk? The magical sounds of the instruments, the fun of body percussion, games, speech pieces, movement, songs, stories… All of the above? Yes!

Focus: Orff process, timbre, movement, improvisation.
​Audience: Teachers K-8

Kodály for Orff Teachers:
​The Best of Both Worlds 
with Dr. Jody Stark
hosted by the Alberta Chapter of CARL ORFF CANADA
1pm - 2pm  (AST)
Orff-Schulwerk and Kodály pedagogy have different aims but share many commonalities. Using elements of the two together can be a powerful way to awaken students’ innate musicality and deepen their musical understanding. In this online workshop, we will explore the core of the two approaches and how they might fit together, along with some tools to help us think about intentions for music learning. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with some possible models for enhancing an Orff approach with a sprinkle of Kodály-inspired pedagogy, and will learn some songs in French and English along the way.

Keep Creating and Carry On 
with Drue Bullington
hosted by the Calgary Chapter of CARL ORFF CANADA
Time TBA
Mindful moments to begin, a mixed meter exploration from OS MFC Vol. IV will bring a bit of musical challenge to the experience, and offer a path for mixed meter improvisation and composition. We’ll bring in personal experience with the night sky, and edge into moon phase hand drumming and building blocks, a beautiful Emily Dickinson poem will inspire us, and we’ll end our time together with a musical look at the artwork of Kandinsky.
