Using the Purposeful Pathways model, integrating Orff Schulwerk, Kodály and eurhythmics, we will explore working with functional harmony in the upper elementary or middle school general music classroom.
Participants will learn how to:
Create simple arrangements of folk and/or pop songs using Orff instruments, percussion instruments, ukulele and/or guitar
Create composition and improvisation activities based upon folk and/or pop songs
Create movement activities based on folk and/or pop songs appropriate for upper elementary and middle school
Participants will each teach a small group lesson that utilizes an arrangement that they created based on a folk or pop song that uses functional harmony that includes composition, improvisation or movement extensions.
