Two of a Kind Using the Paired Skills from Orff & Keetmans Music for Children, Volume I (Murray

Edition)

Michael Chandler
October 29, 2016 | 8:30 am Registration begins | 9 am- 1 pm | Trinity University Band Hall (LA110)
The two outer sections of Music for
Children Volume I contain many
song arrangements and
instrumental pieces that Orff
teachers have loved and taught to
students again and again. Less
familiar to some is the material in
the middle section titled Rhythmic
and melodic exercises. It was Orff
and Keetmans intention that
teachers continue using this
material even as the children work into the later volumes of
MFC. Participants in this workshop will experience the paired
skills in Part II of Volume I through singing, speech,
instruments, and movement while reinforcing the elements of
music and exploring ways to feature the students own musical
material in performances. Please bring your soprano
recorder to this session!
Michael Chandler taught music and movement in Texas public
schools for 16 years, most of them in the Lewisville
Independent School District, where he was named Teacher of
the Year at two elementary campuses. In 2005, 2007, and
2013 his student ensembles were featured performers at the
TMEA Clinic and Convention in San Antonio.
Michael presents workshops and sessions at the local, state,
and national level including for TMEA, TCDA, and AOSA.
He has taught in Orff Schulwerk certification courses at
Southern Methodist University in Dallas, the University of
Central Arkansas in Conway, the Hartt School in Connecticut,
Oregon State University, and the University of St. Thomas in
Minnesota. He has served as President of the North Texas
Chapter of AOSA and as a Regional Representative on the
AOSA National Board of Trustees. He is an accompanist with
the Childrens Chorus of Greater Dallas and is the author of
Everyday Recorder, Recorder Everyday, an Orff Schulwerk
approach to integrating recorder into the music classroom.
Michael is currently working toward the PhD degree in music
education at the University of North Texas in Denton.
