TREASURES

Treasures is a faction of the Idaho Orff Schulwerk Chapter made of retired music teachers.  Began in 2016, the purposes of this group are:

• To give financial support to the chapter for the purpose of awarding scholarships for professional development and national memberships
• To be available to mentor music teachers. 
• Provide instruments for teachers through the Instrument Loan Program

These purposes are accomplished in the following ways:

• Teaching items are collected that can be re-sold and lessons, gift items, etc. are made by the members and made available in a "Treasures" store at workshops and conferences
• Members are available at workshops to talk to teachers to provide professional support.

How can you help?  Help is always needed in collecting or donating items that can be re-sold, or by making music gift or teaching items for re-sale. New Treasures members are always welcome to help fulfill the purposes. Contact Beverly Schumacher at [email protected] or [email protected]
