The ukulele is quickly becoming a sought-after addition in the elementary music classroom. Its accessibility and uniqueness make the ukulele a new and exciting way for students to create and participate in music-making. Years of developing a teaching sequence that empowers all students has led to a ukulele sequence that utilizes universal design, constructivist philosophies of knowledge building, and the Orff Approach. Students will identify strategies, ready for use in class the following week, while also internalizing the underlying concepts that enable the design of a successful lesson sequence. Combined with discussions on the historical and culture context of the ukulele, attendees will leave with the pedagogical knowledge to create ukulele lessons independently.

Designed for teachers of all ability and experience (much like our students) this professional development experience seeks to connect established pedagogical knowledge within this new medium, the ukulele. Explore how to teach the ukulele while also learning how to play the ukulele. More than just a presentation of activities, this clinic aims to facilitate professional development discussion that is meaningful and valuable in teacher development.

Gestalt means wholeness. A Gestalt approach to change recognizes that the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Orff Schulwerk teaching, at its best, comes from a place of wholeness. In this course we examine the ways in which an Orff classroom is a place for children to experience, if even just for a moment, their wholeness in the midst of their demanding lives and a broken world. Simultaneously we will heighten our awareness as to the ways in which this approach to teaching impacts the teacher in ways that create movement toward wholeness. This course will be life-changing.
