Instructors:
Instructors:
Level II (and pre-2022 Level III) is a newly revised two-week course where educators consolidate the learning from Level I and go on to explore hybrid meters, hexatonic and modal melodies and accompaniments as well as extended forms, through movement, playing, improvising, and composing. Students develop practical skills in lesson planning and teaching in a supportive environment. Recorder study focuses on learning to play Alto Recorder (Baroque Fingering) and continues to review Soprano Recorder. Movement vocabulary is built on the creative movement vocabulary learned in Level I, through active participation in set dances and the concepts of elemental music as the creative and artistic expression of self. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level I endorsed by Carl Orff Canada (or Level II prior to 2022). For more information, email kjfriese@ualberta.ca or kathy.robinson@ualberta.ca |
