Orff Workshop

https://macaosa.live-website.com

"Our "Back to Basics" workshop is just the thing if you want an introduction to Orff-Schulwerk before taking Level I training. It's also a great workshop for the experienced Orff teacher looking for a refresher in the basics of the Orff approach. Invite an administrator or classroom teacher who would like to learn more about the general music classroom. This workshop is free and you do not need to be a MAC-AOSA member to attend!"

“Teaching Blues and Jazz in a Virtual Classroom” Idea Swap

Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 4:30 p.m.

The MCPS elementary general music curriculum asks us to focus on blues music with our 5th graders in the first marking period. If you are wondering how you will lead your students to understand the complex history and context that brought about these styles of music, and how we will bring our students to feel the joy of performing it together, while teaching via computer screen, please join us for this idea swap. Anne Burson will share some resources from Smithsonian Folkways, the Library of Congress, and the Association for Cultural Equity. If you would like to share resources, historical knowledge, technology hacks, or other ideas, we would welcome it. Please contact Anne at anne_e_burson@mcpsmd.org. Sharing is not a requirement for attending.
