Photos and Videos ******************** 2012-2013 BHAOSA Presenters September 15, 2012 Chapter Sharing 8:30-12:00 October 20, 2012 Deborah Ziolkoski - British Columbia, Canada Interactive Listening Lessons Children Love (Pre K- Gr.7) Discover how to take classical music from its sophisticated, mysterious realm to one that is child-centered and fascinating! Through the inspiration and integration of children’s literature, the compelling music of the great composers is introduced through storytelling, drama, song, movement and instrumental play. Children of all ages will be captivated by the engaging listening materials as they nourish many different ways children learn. Deborah will provide an introduction to the Laban movement efforts and demonstrate how they may be integrated into such favorites as: Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks by Mussorgsky and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. Musical concepts and skills are reinforced as children identify and respond to articulation, dynamics, duration, tempo and form of the music. Puppets, props and costumes are used to stimulate children’s imagination and keep the focus on imaginative fun! A visual representation of the music reinforces the form for visual learners as they conduct along; auditory learners thrive as they play along to the musical cues while kinesthetic learners hop, glide and march to the compelling music of the great composers. Children will be inspired to create their own stories and drawings to the music through simple music maps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Deborah Ziolkoski is an elementary music specialist with over twenty years experience.
