ORFF ENSEMBLE (GRADES 3-6)
Class Introduction:
Students in grades 3-6 are invited to join Orff Ensemble. The group meets Wednesday mornings, in the music room, 8:00-8:45am. We learn basic percussive techniques, try to read scores, memorize songs, and perform concerts. We regularly put on biannual evening concerts for our parents (usually December and May), plus we perform at school assemblies, and other places as determined by the group. Performance opportunites may be expanded if there is student interest, transportation for students and instruments, and chaperones available; in the past we have done a 5th Ave. Mall performance, the Anchorage Orff Festival, and Senior Center and Airport visits. We are open to suggestion if we can figure out the logistics of getting ourselves there. :-)Come join us! It's fun, it's free, it's fabulous. Important dates (rehearsals, concerts) are listed on the calendar.
Sign ups are held at Open House. Students who miss the signups and wish to join later in the year should see Mrs. Nilsson to ask for a permission slip for their parents to sign.
