Jacque Schrader - October 11, 2008
Weaving a Story: Start to Finish
9:00 to 3:00
Registration and coffee at 8:30 am
Where: The Catlin Gabel School (Barn)
Orff Schulwerk teachers have long known the value of
stories both in the classroom and on the stage. What is unique to
us, perhaps, is our desire to develop what happens in the classroom
into a larger production. This workshop will model some ways to
do that that. Combining traditional and composed speech,
elemental music, a very clear movement sequence, and even a bit of
humor, this workshop will bring stories alive! It is
appropriate for teachers of grades 1-6. Please wear comfortable
clothes and bring a soprano recorder!
Jacqueline Schrader currently teaches music and
movement to children in pre-school through age 13 at the Key School in
Annapolis, MD. Additionally, she is the Pre-School and Lower School
Orff Schulwerk Coordinator. Her 5th grade children were featured
at the AOSA Conference in Philadelphia.
For the last 20 summers she has been helping to
train Orff Schulwerk teachers from around the world. She is
currently the movement teacher at the University of St. Thomas, St.
Paul Minnesota, where she received three levels of Orff training as
well as a master class. She also
teaches
Level II Ensemble at George Mason University in Virginia and at
Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
In l983, she was given the NJMEA Master Teacher
Award. She was the youngest recipient in the history of the
award. In l984 she was given the NJ Governor’s Award for
Excellence in Arts Education. She served on the AOSA Board of
Trustees from1995-2000.
A highly sought after, internationally known clinician, Jacque
