sponsored by laguna blanca school
Dr. Ware’s workshop will present teaching tools, lesson plans, songs, and instrumentation built on the renowned, Orff Schulwerk approach to music education. Dr. Ware’s expertise is in African-American music, for which he has multiple publications.
“Orff Schulwerk is total, active involvement in music making that incorporates speech, singing, movement, and instrument playing in a creative environment. It develops the whole child with a balance of emotional and intellectual stimulation.” — AOSA
The Orff approach and music are known for its K-12 adaptability, emphasis on ownership and independence, and natural synergy with other classes, particularly history, language arts, and sciences. — Please RSVP to Molly Markstrum: mmarkstrum@lagunablanca.org

Advocacy Statement
“U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan stated that an education in the Arts is ‘…essential to stimulating the creativity and innovation that will prove critical to young Americans competing in a knowledge-based, global economy.’ I believe that music instruction utilizing the Orff approach naturally fosters the inquisitive nature and inherent search for aesthetic beauty within each child that we have the privilege to nurture. Through sharing our gifts as musicians and educators with our children we are able to cultivate their gifts as creative beings. It is the work that we do today that will bring forth the unimaginable beauty and wonder of our children and their future.”
