Join master Orff teacher, Joe Berarducci, as he helps us clarify the scope and sequence of elementary music education. Joe will help us to see the bones of the curricular content we need to share with our students through the wonderful and engaging materials we have grown to love from his fantastical mind! He will take us on a thoughtful journey from musical infancy to conscious musicianship. Approaches to evaluation will be shared along the way. Participants will come away feeling more prepared to lead their own students on this magical journey into the World of Music.
