Under the mentorship of Nikki Cox, QOSA is excited to be continuing this presenter training initiative that encourages our talented members to share projects and materials developed following their Orff Levels’ experiences.
Our three presenters will be sharing a variety of music and movement activities based on accessible and original material to inspire and ignite your teaching practice.
Treat yourself to a day of creative music making - beautiful ideas, beautiful material, beautiful outcomes.
SESSION 1
Kathryn Robinson
How To Make a Bird
There is much to learn from a bird and their flock - how we can move, sing and play. But more than that, in making a bird we step out on the journey of the creative process and our creative spirit can be nurtured - much like the Orff approach.
Explore how a book and nature around us can be the vehicle for creative explorations in movement, song and composition and lean into the innate creativity between and around us all as a collective.
SESSION 2
Megan Laurie
Walking Down The Road With You
When you take a walk, there are always lots of layers and textures to see and enjoy. When you take a really long walk across Spain on the Camino, you hear a symphony of languages and meet all sorts of wonderful people! Come and explore layers of texture, timbre and composition via pathways & trails, rhythms & melody, and an original song inspired by Megan’s travels in 2024.
SESSION 3
Ianthe van der Walt
