September 19, 2009: Artie Almeida - Fun With Fundamentals
We enjoyed an action-packed day full of great practical teaching ideas.
Sessions included "Mallet Madness", "Can You Hear Me Now?" and "Recorder Express".
Online Resources from Artie's web pages.

During Mallet Madness, participants experienced fun and accessible activities for barred instruments and drums that emphasized learning in the areas of rhythm, melody, form, expressive qualities and mallet techniques. The unique rotation process through the instruments made this a very enjoyable and educational experience which students would enjoy. Many of these activities began as drum or non-pitched percussion lessons, and can be easily adapted for rooms without a full Orff instrumentarium.

Can You Hear Me Now? Included a collection of exciting experiences to activate children's listening via movement, flashlight painting, parachute play, ribbon dance, super stretchy and more! Concepts addressed included steady beat, rhythm, form, expressive qualities and style. Music included the William Tell Overture, Kabalevsky's Gallop, the Syncopated Clock and more.

Recorder Express offered innovative techniques for leading your students to music literacy via the recorder.
