Treasure State Orff is our Montana Chapter of American Orff-Schulwerk. We are a community dedicated to learning and growing as educators to give students a powerful music education with a focus on Orff-Schulwerk. We offer three workshops each school year where we come together to get new resources and lessons and collaborate with fellow educators. Generally, our Fall and Spring workshops feature Nationally known Orff educators and our Winter workshop is a chance to see what our fabulous chapter educators are up to in their classrooms. Anyone is welcome to join these events, you can register for upcoming events online or in person on the day of the workshop. Consider becoming a TSO member for discounted pricing for workshops and to get updates on upcoming events. The workshops can be taken for OPI renewal credits or for college credit through the University of Montana.
