Description:
From movement to body percussion, from singing to Orff arrangements, Melanie Kang seeks to make Chinese music, dances, and activities accessible to American teachers and students while simultaneously preserving the authenticity of the culture. In this workshop, Melanie will not only share songs and games from her recently published book, Lion, Lanterns, and Ribbons, but she will also bring other Chinese traditional stories, artworks, folk dances, and children’s games that she has explored and tested with her students over the span of a decade. In her class, the traditional Chinese fan dance became Curwen hand signs, and the traditional ribbons dance became the exploration of musical expressions. After this workshop on Chinese music, you will be able to throw a Lunar New Year celebration while enhancing your students’ creativity and musical capabilities.
