FIO Chapter Workshop, Saturday Jan. 16th

Dear First Iowa Orff Members and Friends,

 

On Saturday, January 16th, we will have our annual Chapter Sharing meeting in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center at UNI.  It's going to be a really fun and productive meeting!  Here is out schedule for the day:

9-12 Work on pieces out of Music for Children, Volume I: Tim is going to share an Orff volumes piece, then we are going to break up into small groups to learn other pieces out of the volumes

 

12-1 Lunch

 

1-2 Iowa Core Update and work

  

2-3 Recorder reading session

Everyone will need to bring a recorder, and MFC Volume I, if you own it.  And, if you have altos, tenors and bass recorder, bring them!  Also, we will need some extra barred instruments, so please consider bringing one along (especially glockenspiels, xylophones and mallets).

 

As usual, we will have a potluck lunch.  The chapter will provide sandwiches, but we will need help bringing sides, drinks, and desserts.  Please e-mail Emily (our fabulous corresponding secretary) if you plan to attend, so that she can organize the potluck.  Emily's e-mail is: emilyrosebarnes@gmail.com

 

Finally, in case we have to cancel due to inclement weather, Tim will post a notice on the FIO wesbite by 7 a.m.  (We tentatively have a make-up day scheduled for Jan. 23rd, if needed.) The website address is: http://www.firstiowaorff.org/
 
Please e-mail me at sarah-bobenhouse@uiowa.edu if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Sarah
