EVERY DAY CREATIVITY! Saturday, February 27th 2021 9:00 am - 1:00 pm The Orff Schulwerk process of imitate > explore > create allows students limitless possibilities for musical creativity both individually and in groups. While improvisation and composition are often end products of our work with students, they can also be integrated throughout all stages of instruction. Participants in this workshop will experience a variety of music and movement activities in which musical materials serve as departure points for incorporating student ideas that result in new and unique possibilities. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes, and bring a hand drum and a soprano recorder. _____________________________________________________________________________ Michael Chandler taught music and movement to elementary school children in Texas public schools for 16 years, most of them in the Lewisville Independent School District, where he was named Teacher of the Year at two campuses. In 2005, 2007, and 2013 his student ensembles were selected to perform at the TMEA Clinic and Convention in San Antonio. Dr. Chandler has presented workshops in 38 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico for Texas Music Educators Association, Texas Choral Directors Association, American Orff Schulwerk Association, and numerous state MEA organizations.
