| BHAOSA is a professional organization of music and movement educators dedicated to the creative teaching approach developed by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman, located in Western South Dakota. |
| We are..... united by our belief that music and movement - to speak, sing and play; to listen and understand to move and create - should be an active and joyful experience |

It will also demonstrate how Orff Schulwerk lessons naturally lend themselves to interdisciplinary exploration. Activities will include connections to science, language arts and social studies, as well as multi- cultural experiences. Participants should come prepared for a day of singing, moving, playing, and creating through improvisation and dramatic expression. Read Debbie's BIO! January 16, 2010 Dr. Deanna Stark Memphis, TN 9:00 – 3:00 Sing, Dance, and Play the Orff Process Way! Participants will sing, play instruments, and perform movement to accompany folk songs of various cultures. (African, Asian, European, and North American folk music will be featured.) We will mine a couple of jewels from Volume I, and use them in a kid-friendly way. Pieces will be appropriate for many grade levels, but will focus primarily on upper elementary-aged students. You’ll not only receive materials that are usable with your students; you’ll enjoy learning and performing them with your colleagues, too. So please join us for this day of music! Read Deanna's BIO!
