Now's the Time: Jazz for all Ages

Join internationally renowned Orff Schulwerk educator Doug Goodkin for a practical and inspiring day exploring the unique partnership between Jazz and the Orff approach.

Drawing on over 40 years of experience, Doug demonstrates how the richness and complexity of jazz can be made accessible through movement, singing, improvisation and ensemble playing. Participants will discover practical strategies for adapting jazz repertoire to Orff instruments, develop confidence in teaching jazz to children and experience the joy of creating music together.

Suitable for educators working with primary and secondary-aged learners, this hands-on workshop welcomes both experienced Orff practitioners and those new to jazz. Participants who play a band instrument are encouraged to bring it along and join the ensemble.
