Location: ISU Julian Hall Rm 069
​9:00-1:00

Tired of flying by the seat of your pants?  Stressed out wondering what you will teach on Monday morning?  Questioning where great songs and activities learned in various workshops fit into your weekly lesson plans?  This workshop is for you!  Together, we will experience lots of hands-on music making and then do a deep-dive into curriculum and design, learning how to prioritize various learning targets and plan sequentially with the year in mind.

CYNTHIA SEPUTIS has taught K-5 General Music at Carpenter Elementary School in Park Ridge, IL for 31 years.  She received her B.S. in Music Education from the University of Illinois,
Champaign-Urbana and her Masters of Music Education from Northwestern University.  She completed her Orff Levels with Jeff Kriske, Randy DeLelles, and Shirley McRae at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.  Cynthia taught the recorder component of the Orff Levels at VanderCook College of Music in Chicago for 18 years and also co-taught “Orff Curriculum and Design” and “Orff Without Instruments”.  Outside of teaching, Cynthia can be found ringing handbells with Chicago Bronze or playing her five-string banjo.
