Using familiar pieces from the volumes, favorite rhymes and children's games, and a wide variety of poetry, participants will embark on a journey that travels in time from dusk to dawn. We will explore ways to take these old favorites and make them your own through shifting tonalities, improvisation, and composition projects. Participants will leave with materials that could serve as stand-alone lessons or be combined into a program for upper elementary students. Participants are asked to bring their recorders.
