2021 - 2022 Workshops

Kodály for Orff Teachers:
​The Best of Both Worlds

A virtual workshop with Dr. Jody Stark

​

Saturday, January 29th, 2022
10:00 am - 12:00 pm MST

Orff-Schulwerk and Kodály pedagogy have different aims but share many commonalities. Using elements of the two together can be a powerful way to awaken students’ innate musicality and deepen their musical understanding. In this online workshop, we will explore the core of the two approaches and how they might fit together, along with some tools to help us think about intentions for music learning. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with some possible models for enhancing an Orff approach with a sprinkle of Kodály-inspired pedagogy, and will learn some songs in French and English along the way.
Cost:
$10 for current COC members
$15 for non COC members
Students, please contact our membership secretary, Alana Mahaffy for workshop access. 
​
A Zoom link will be sent out the day before the workshop.
