Show Notes
An Interview with Dr. Julie Scott, President of AOSA 16:10
Workshops and Continuing Education 9:54
Description:
This episode concerns the importance of workshops and continuing ed. Workshops are my favorite sources of teaching procedures and lesson ideas. They are highly motivational and put me in contact with great fellow teachers. This podcast refers to a NTAOSA workshop led by Paul Cribari in Dallas, TX on April 24, 2010. Paul Cribari teaches music to children in kindergarten through fifth grade in the Cherry Creek School District of Colorado. In addition to teaching general music, Paul conducts the school choir and oversees the music classes in the school's "Aftercare for the Arts and Sciences" program. Paul received his Bachelors degree from the University of Northern Colorado, and his Masters degree from the University of St. Thomas. In addition to being a regular clinician for local chapters of AOSA and state MENC conferences, he has presented at several AOSA National Conferences and has been on the faculty for Orff Schulwerk teacher training courses at several other universities. Attend a workshop led by Paul. It's much more fantastic than my selective memory of the workshop!

Level III classes at SMU. She gives a great overview of what
Orff-Schulwerk is. Enjoy!

Description:
The Orff Site Show is a podcast
about using the Orff-Schulwerk approach in your elementary music class.
This is the introductory episode which tells the listener what the show
is about and what to expect in the future episodes. It is a podcast
that should interest elementary music teachers who use the approach or
those who are curious about the approach. It is hosted by a current
elementary music teacher with 20 years of teaching experience, most in
the secondary level, but the last 3 years have been at the elementary
level.
