It's Written in the Stars; Developing Theme-Based Lesson
Massry Center for the Arts -- College of St. Rose, Albany, NY
Join us as we sing, say, move and play to create a star themed rondo that is abounding with curricular content! Workshop participants will incorporate the four steps of the Orff teaching process (imitate, explore, label and create) while making music using body percussion, xylophones, recorders and more! We will also explore processes and strategies participants can use to develop their own theme-based lessons and performances.
