Dear FIO Members,
 
Here is another workshop opportunity! 


Hi everyone!

Just a reminder that the first workshop scheduled on Saturday, April 10, 9:00 - 2:00 at the Harmon Fine Arts Center at Drake University in Des Moines. Trisha Freeman, a Kindermusik teacher at UNI, is doing a sample class in the morning. We'll look at some curriculum building ideas then share more kid-tested activities in the afternoon.

We're planning on a working/get to know you pot-luck
lunch, so please bring something (chips, cookies, fresh veggies or fruit) that travels easily and will go with sandwiches. We are planning on 15 people (though more would be welcome!). Cost is $10.

Please email me with questions or to let me know what you'll bring for lunch.

Hope to see you there!

Concert Invitation from Aaron Hansen

Hi everyone!!  Hope you all having a great March!  Just wanted to invite the chapter to my 6th grade program on Tuesday, March 16th at 7:00pm at the Waverly-Shell Rock High School.  I am very excited about the work my kids have done on this program and would love for you to see some Orff-Schulwerk in action.  The program is themed around the Moon and the kids will be playing pieces from the volumes with choreography created by them.  Would love to have some chapter members present!  Aaron

Kodály Chapter Workshop, Saturday March 6th at UNI

Hi all,

Kodály Educators of Iowa will host Sister Lorna Zemke who will be presenting a great workshop this Saturday, March 6 (at UNI) this weekend. You do not need to have any Kodály training to attend. She will be talking about getting jazz into our curriculums and will present a lot of fun and worthwhile activities (geared for upper elementary and middle school) on how to easily add more of this style of music into our teaching.  She will also be bringing items from the Silver Lake catalog that will be available for sale.  She is a fabulous presenter and we hope you'll be able to attend!

For more information and how to register (please do so we have an accurate lunch count) please go to www.kodalyiowa.org

Hope to see you there!
