| October 25, 2008 Dr. Artie Almeida – Altamonte Springs, FL 9:00 – 3:00 "Fun With FUNdamentals" Enjoy an action-packed day of ideas to energize your teaching. Sessions will include Mallet Madness, Can You Hear Me Now? and Recorder Express. During Mallet Madness, participants will experience fun and accessible activities for barred instruments and drums that emphasize learnings in the areas of rhythm, melody, form, expressive qualities and mallet technique. The unique rotation process through the instruments will make this a very enjoyable and educational experience for your young students. Many of these activities began as drum or non-pitched percussion lessons, and can be easily adapted for rooms without a full Orff instrumentarium. Can You Hear Me Now? includes a collection of exciting experiences to activate children's listening via movement, flashlight painting, parachute play, ribbon dance, super stretchy and more! Concepts addressed include steady beat, rhythm, form, expressive qualities and style. Music includes the William Tell Overture, Kabalevsky's Galop, The Syncopated Clock and more. Recorder Express will offer innovative techniques for leading your students to music literacy via the recorder. Bring your soprano recorder and be ready for some surprises!
