BUILDING BRIDGES
The MOC is committed to advocating for Carl Orff's approach to music education, an approach that uses speech, song, movement, the playing of various instruments, and listening.
This workshop series aims to create stronger connections and will provide even more support to music teachers from all corners of Manitoba.
THANK YOU to Amanda and Sean for an exciting and valuable day of
singing, moving, playing, creating, and music making in Brandon
with Westman area music teachers!!!
