Hi all!
I'm having a great time here at the conference and wanted to ask a couple of
questions here so I'll have food for thought when I get home, as the
conference is so full and exhilarating...and those of you who aren't here at
the conference can chime in online.
First question, do any of you get involved in your state's music
association,( which usually consists of public schools, but they do have
opportunities such as combined school choruses and orchestras, contests for
the upper grades, etc.) ?
Second of all, (this pertains to Waldorf pedagogy)...what is your favorite
way to teach harmony? I have been jumping right in and teaching the whole
class to sing each part before dividing them, and was curious about other
ways of doing it. Harmony singing is so satisfying for the children,
though...And, one more topic: book work in the lower grades...when do you
start? What kinds of things do you have students include in their music
books?
What are you experiences with introducing rounds and quodlibets? Would you
introduce one first and then the other or do they go hand in hand?
I hope these questions don't sound too basic, and I promise I'll get a
mentor!
Have a lovely evening,
Angie
