October 6th: David Gluck offered an all day workshop entitled Rhythm Journey: An Exploration into the Fascinating World of Rhythm with your Students.

The workshop will be hands-on and will include such topics and activities as:
- How to use geometric shapes to teach rhythm
- How to use the metronome in creative and effective ways
- Teaching the art of subdividing: from small to large note values
- Teaching rythm from both a physical and mental perspective
- Teaching students how to count (internally and externally)
- Understanding and internalizing syncopated rhythms (down/up, on/off)
- Using spoken language to teach the essence of rhythm
October 7th: Dr. Nicole Molumby presented a Dalcroze-Based workshop which will focus on the teaching methods of Emile Jacque Dalcroze, a Swiss composer, music educator and music theorist whose method of teaching rhythm through movement known as Eurhythmics. In the morning, Dr. Molumby will lead simple movement activities that emphasize the three Eurhythmic principles of time, space, and energy. Throughout the workshop she will present lessons and activities that incorporate Eurhythmics into learning and performing recorder. At the end of the day, participants will create their own movement-based activities using Orff instruments and recorders that culminate in a final workshop performance!
