Music for children

Ann Wolfe came to see me at work today,

she specialises in marimbas < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marimba >
 
and music education a la Carl Orff < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Orff >

which makes for something wonderful


she asked about the hall and I explained its not in the best repair, but as she is focusing on children's workshops we would love her to have a look and if she's keen, try a couple of workshops there at no charge

if we need to improve the building in order to facilitate the workshops, we'll need her input

if its possible to develop workshops on an ongoing basis then we would like something along the lines of $20 each time (less than an hour) which would go toward maintenance and developing the building

I told her I hoped that in time we would be able to develop a new school from community workshops based on child centred learning but we are currently under-resourced

she said she'll be in touch over the next week or so.

Ann is a Fern Tree local of 25 years who runs Fiddlestix Music for children 0 - 5 years and has a B.Ed (early childhood)

I'm thinking of two kids particularly who'd love it.
