Make & Take

Read Now
 
Picture
Last Wednesday September 24th, Alberta Orff Chapter members congregated at Michael Strembitsky school to work on this year's batch of classroom items.  Much fun was had by all as everyone chatted and shared musical and educational ideas.

I overheard some chapter members eagerly planning their carpooling options for the next national conference in Saskatoon.  Many other topics of interest circulated the room including how the items might be used.  For example, it was noted that the song "Clap Your Hands" - one version of which is in Gameplan - could be enhanced with the "Jitter Sticks."

Please read more to see some more pictures.
