                                  THE PROOF IS IN THE PROCESS:
                                Interdisciplinary and Literacy Lessons
       Using the Orff Approach
                                INSTRUCTOR: Deborah Cunningham,
Manlius, New York
This workshop will provide participants with ideas and
activities for incorporating music literacy into the Orff process.
 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.

European, and North American folk music will be featured.  
We will also 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

**************************
From Bev Peterson, Instructor for "Using the Orff Process",  a one-hour  
graduate college credit class from Augustana.  

     The enrollment fees are $40.00 to Augustana and $50.00 to RCAS (total
$90.00).   
Membership  in the BHAOSA is required  when taking the course for credit.  
Membership dues are $25.00 annually.
 Requirements are that each enrollee attend all
the workshop sessions and prepare a  short written paper from choices furnished
by the instructor.  One absence is allowed but will require make-up work to be
done.  This class may also be taken for State recertification at the cost of $35.00.  
This is the last year that recertification will be offered as it presently stands.

     Since this class is one of the few offered for elementary music teachers is
important that we keep it going with strong enrollment numbers.  Just think ,  if
you take this class  for credit each year for five years , you will only need one
more one hour class for renewal and five of your hours will be in the field that you
are teaching.  So I hope that you will continue to support a class that brings you
national clinicians; networking with fellow elementary music teachers; and the
chance to become acquainted with some of the most creative, talented,  innovative
and dedicated professionals in education.

     Registration will take place at the first meeting, September 12, 2009 at
Meadowbrook School.  Please come early to complete your registration before the
meeting begins.  Hoping to see you in September as we get "Orff to a Great Start."
