Angela Lee (President) presents the Chapter President's Award to Leah Schryver, Charlene Greenwood, Katie Cuthiell and Garth Prinsonsky. Once again over the summer, the University of Alberta offered Orff Levels I and II. The Alberta Orff Chapter was on hand with the lending library and with a reception after the Sharing Session.
This year we were happy to award four scholarships. Please read their reflections on their experiences below and be sure to look at the photo gallery of pictures taken at the Sharing Session. On Saturday January 30th, 2016 we were treated to an energetic and impactful session with Tim Wiegand. Tim is an educator from Las Vegas and a self published author of a number of elementary music resources. The turnout for this workshop was fantastic and it was great to see some new faces in the crowd.
On Saturday October 3rd music teachers from across Northern Alberta (and even two from Calgary, thanks for joining us Liz and Heather!) gathered to learn from the talented Josie Burgess. This workshop was our first at our new location Elizabeth Finch and a big thanks goes out to Sarah Huisman and Karen Abrahamson for helping with everything.
Last Wednesday the 23rd Chapter members got together for this year's Make & Take. There were lots of goodies up for grabs and local members got to chat and network while assembling their materials. |
