    Dear Music Box Friends,

    Thanks to all of you who came to the Atlanta Orff Chapter this past weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at the summer training in Charlotte, NC!

    Check out a few of my students in my after school recorder ensemble. First, we sang and played "Are You Sleeping" in major. We then listened to Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Movement 3. This inspired us for movement, recorder, and Orff, just in time for Halloween.

    One of you asked about accompaniment for Five Little Snowmen. This song, from In All Kinds of Weather, Kids Make Music, is very easily done by young players on Orff instruments. Check out the text, with so many words the same, young players can have strong singing while they are playing!
