First Iowa Orff

Located in Cedar Falls, IA, First Iowa Orff is a chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association. We are a group of primarily classroom music teachers who meet three or four times a year for workshops with guest presenters from around the country. AOSA and FIO are based on the educational philosophy, process, and music of Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman.

Bring to the workshop....

Hello, All!  Sorry for the late notice, but if you are attending the workshop this Saturday, please bring a soprano recorder and a hand drum.  We will also need 10-12 extra mallet instruments of varying sizes, so if you can throw one in the car on your way, that would be great.
 
Also, please remember to rsvp to me (egoulson@msn.com or emilyrosebarnes@gmail.com), regardless of whether or not you will be able to eat lunch with us.  We like to have enough notes to go around, etc.  :o)
 
Hope to see you all on Saturday morning!

First Iowa Orff Meeting this Saturday

Dear Chapter Members,
 
This Saturday, October 10th, is our second chapter workshop of the year, featuring Jaques Schrader, Orff Teacher extraordinaire!  Jaques was my movement teacher for all three levels of Orff while I attending the University of St. Thomas.  She is an incredible Orff teacher, and I hope that you will all be able to join us!
 
The workshop will be from 9-3 at UNI in the Bluedorn-Gallagher Performing Arts Center.  You many register/check-in when you arrive that morning.
 
As usual, we will have a potluck lunch.  The chapter will provide sandwiches, but we will need help bringing sides, drinks, ans desserts.  Please e-mail Emily if you are going to attend, and she will organize the potluck.  Emily's e-mail is: emilyrosebarnes@gmail.com
 
Please e-mail me at sarah-bobenhouse@uiowa.edu if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Sarah
