Fall 2020 workshop success!
|
|
Our fall virtual resource workshop "Drum, Move, Play" with Sherryl Sewepagaham was a huge success! We had over 200 participants from across Canada join us in this unique project, making this one of our most successful workshops to date. Thank you again to Sherryl for sharing your beautiful music with all of us! We hope you have enjoyed sharing this music with your students in your music classes.
We had many requests to purchase this amazing resource after the workshop closed. Sherryl has agreed that we may sell the workshop resource online in the Alberta Orff Chapter boutique. Proceeds will go to build up our scholarship funds (more information on that soon).
"Drum! Move! Play!" is now available on the Alberta Orff Chapter website for $40. Purchase your Workshop Resource here. |

January 2021 workshop change
Change of plans! We were planning to have Jody Stark join us as our presenter for our workshop in January 2021. Due to travel restrictions, we will postpone this workshop to a future date when we can welcome Jody in person with all of us.
