With Fundamentals--Mallet Madness, All Aboard the Recorder Express, and
Concept Collage"
Sat.

This
workshop combines three different workshops into one. "Mallet
Madness"
is an exciting mallet rotation experience that reinforces mallet technique
as well as musical learning in the areas of rhythm, melody, timbre and form.
"Mallet Madness" offers your students the opportunity to
explore the
entire instrumentarium while focusing on the building blocks of music.
Songs, games, and movement experiences are included. "All Aboard the
Recorder Express" features a multitude of tips and techniques to help
your students become confident music readers via the recorder. The games and
activities are very fun for students, while reinforcing basic music skills.

instruments, recorders and movement are the avenues to learning in this very
active clinic.
