Workshop descriptions
Sing, Play, Move in the Classroom – with Celia Stewart
The most important thing that children learn in a music session is music. Musicians listen, sing, play, move and create and this workshop will introduce simple activities that will support teachers in implementing an effective music programme. It will integrate the philosophies of both the Orff Schulwerk and Kodaly approaches to music education in a fun and practical way.

African Drumming and Using Percussion in the Classroom with Rinie Coppelmans
During the workshop I will share my group drumming experience based on working within different educational settings.
