From C to C

Delivering NEW Canadian repertoire to Canadian Children

 By   Donna Rhodenizer


Juno nominee, Canadian composer and music educator, Donna Rhodenizer provides a first-hand look at the music she has composed for children, leading workshop participants through samples from her published collections of original compositions and award-winning recordings.
Donna’s 25 years of experience as an elementary music education specialist ensures that her songs are developmentally and musically age appropriate and in a singable key for children.  They have all been tried and tested in her classroom.

Educators:   Discover fresh, new repertoire for your regular classroom, music classroom, concert settings, thematic units, and to support the new
Ontario Arts Curriculum. Using her music resources, Donna will introduce activities and strategies that can be used to create positive, musical, learning experiences for students. Many selections will be perfect for elementary school classrooms.

        Reproducible vocal scores, lyrics and student worksheets allow teachers to make multiple copies for their students without going bankrupt (or going to jail). Her award-winning, professionally recorded CDs are included in the teaching resources. The CDs provide full performance tracks as well as instrumental accompaniment tracks for all songs. 

Repertoire from Donna Rhodenizer’s Song Collections, Teacher’s Resources and CDs supports the teaching of music expectations as outlined in the new Ontario Arts Curriculum. These resources also provide cross-curricular connections to other subject areas.

Who should attend?

• All K-6 teachers who need to implement the new Ontario Arts Curriculum

• All teachers who are interested in new, original Canadian music for their students.
