If you loved James at CMEA come see him again. It will not be what he did at CMEA (as wonderful as that was). This will be all new, different ideas.
In an Orff-Schulwerk classroom, children are invited to make discoveries through play with the elements of music—form, timbre, pitch, dynamic, tempo and rhythm. Through a variety of songs, musical games, dances and creative movement activities, this workshop will model the many forms which play can take in our teaching, from how we introduce a simple song to how we lead students into satisfying improvisation in a specific musical style.
James Harding has taugh on the faculties of the Orff Schulwerk Levels training at Mills College, Cal State Los Angeles and the University of Oregon. James has taught workshops in Spain and at the Orff Institute in Salzburg, Austria. Recently he completed his first film score for a feature-length documentary. James has worked with children and Orff Schulwerk for 14 years.
