Denver the Mile High City… What a wonderful setting for the
AOSA conference. What a great conference was put together by the leadership of
AOSA. There were many insightful and inspiring presenters and presentations for
those who attended. I was extremely excited and honored to be among those chosen
to present.
Those who came to my session were given many tips, tricks
and tunes from my classroom to theirs. Those in attendance learned about my
step by step method to helping students to learn to better connect to reading
music. Participants in my session learned the songs B-A Jive, Kuma San, Alice the Camel, On the Bridge Avignon, In the
Market of San Juan, Hop Old Squirrel,
Frog in the Meadow, and BAB GAB. They learned firsthand the
procedure I use to teach the songs as well as a little about the reasoning
behind why I use those songs in my classroom. Overall, we had fun singing,
moving, playing, learning and making music together! Viva la Musica!
