We loved learning some new folk dances. Here we are performing the North Skelton Sword dance. Complete with yard stick "swords!"
TA-DA! At the end of the dance all the "swords" formed a giant star.
An all-teacher Orff ensemble. How fun!

Orff on the Brain
Saturday, August 29th, Mrs. McIvor and I attend and amazing Orff workshop sponsored by the Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff Chapter. The all-day workshop was led by Rachel Batchelor, an accomplished choir conductor and teacher from Pittsburgh, PA. Each lesson learned focused on brain-friendly strategies for teaching music. We sang, danced, and played instruments all day long. We can't wait to bring these lessons to the classroom!
