Author/Composer: ANCOS

Denise Gagne’s popular collection Composing With Boomwhackers® contains songs, activities, and reproducible worksheets and templates for teaching children to compose with Boomwhackers®. Activities involving improvisation, rhythm, form, poetry orchestration, 3-note melodies, pentatonic melodies, and diatonic melodies lead to writing your own poem and melody. This method also works well with recorders and Orff instruments and comes with a Performance/Accompaniment CD.

“Listening Fun with Scarves and Tennis Balls” is a perfect resource for a teacher or activity leader who wants to help elementary grade students become active listeners through moving to music. These are new and engaging activities for kids that will keep them active, help develop physical and mental coordination, give them a great feeling of success, and develop spacial awareness and social cues. While they learn about great music, they’ll just think they’re having fun.

This is as much a digital resource as a print resource. It includes three discs. For all eleven listening selections, it includes an audio CD, video of kids performing the routines, video and reproducible print biographies of the composers, projectable lesson materials, plus complete lesson plans and instructions for the teacher, and other supplements. There is even a “guide-at-a-glance” sheet the leader can refer to while teaching each routine. The movement instructions are simple and clear enough for anyone to learn quickly, and the videos can also be used as an aid to learn the routines. The author has included everything needed to incorporate these activities successfully into the music curriculum in multiple ways (but provide your own scarves and tennis balls!). Music instruction objectives and assessments are included in the lesson plans. There is so much here that is useful–the composer videos alone are a great resource and extremely well-done.

Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of “Music for Children”, based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech, rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of “Music for Children” by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Editions have since been published in Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ghana, Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition), Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latin-America, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA. In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students. A few years later, Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966), essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers.

Playing Together is the first book to offer a step-by-step approach to teaching Orff-instrument skills, so your students develop secure mallet technique with ease. Skills are introduced in a carefully sequenced presentation of authentic and artistic music literature. The process begins with sound effects, proceeds to playing accompaniments, and – finally – melodies and two-part instrumental pieces. Three Orff-Schulwerk master teachers have also offered suggestions to encourage skillful playing and enjoyment.
