1 Calgary Chapter May 12, 1978 Last summer, Judy Sills gave an Orff course at the University of Calgary. This course will be given this year by Cynthia Downe. In February, Grace Nash's sessions during the Calgary City Convention attracted 300 people! She has been invited back for February 1979 at which time Lethbridge and Medicine Hat would like to engage her. Calgary would like to host the Alberta Chapter Conference in 1979 and hopefully a Southern Alberta Chapter will be established at that time. May 18, 1979 The Calgary Chapter was formed in November 1978 with: President Ruth Lomenda Treasurer Stanton Morris Secretary Marilyn Langford News Editor Susan Fuerbringer The chapter has 34 members and has held three successful workshops during the year. Grace C. Nash was the guest of honour at a luncheon meeting of the chapter during the Calgary City Convention in February. A recorder workshop was held with Marie Morris, and in March, Eric Favro presented a workshop. An April workshop had to be cancelled because of poor attendance. May 8, 1986 Jeanne Tearne spoke about incorporation. She also spoke about computer time for the conference. The Calgary Chapter is trying to establish its own levels training in Calgary. CHAPTER REPORT The past two years have been a time of steady growth in membership and it has been encouraging to see newer members enthusiastically working on the executive. I was delighted to receive wholehearted support for our plans to host the 1988 National Conference, and we already have a sizeable number of members ready to go to work. Our two school boards are ready to help through their respective music departments. The Calgary Chapter has continued to sponsor three major workshops each year. Our clinicians have unfailingly provided us with rich resources and personal challenge. They have included Shirley Funk, Diane Shieron and Bob de Frece from the Edmonton Chapter; Donna Otto-Spence, and our own members, Ruth Lomenda, Vera (Slack) Patterson, Wendy Rae and Jeanne Tearne. Vera Patterson has taught recorder for the levels courses at the University of Alberta. Our biggest venture to date occurred in November 1984 when we joined with our Calgary Boards and Lethbridge to bring Jos Wuytack of Belgium here for ten days. Jos worked in

2 the schools and teachers were freed to observe classes. A Friday evening and Saturday workshop ended the week. Held at the University of Calgary, Jos led some 130 participants in his unique style as we danced, played and sang our way through a widely diverse and stimulating program. We were delighted at this time to welcome Morna-June Morrow on her first "official" visit to Calgary. The Chapter has sponsored an Introductory Orff Course for the past three years. Taught by Ruth Lomenda, the course has attracted an average of thirty participants and has undoubtedly contributed much to the growth of our chapter as well as offering a sound introduction to the Schulwerk. Ruth is a most creative person and a highly skilled teacher. We are very proud of her. This winter we changed the format from three-hour evening sessions offered weekly to four-hour sessions on alternate Saturday mornings, for a total of 20 hours. We added separate recorder and movement components taught by Wendy Rae and Sonia Yudcovitch. Sonia is an English trained Laban specialist and an exciting teacher. Wendy has superb recorder skills and her arrangements for recorder and Orff instruments delight us all. We have been working hard to establish levels training at the University of Calgary and finally have a firm commitment for at least Level One in the summer of For the first time this year we offered two evening mini-sessions for our members and intend to continue these. They make a great vehicle for sharing skills and knowledge. I feel very privileged to have served as Chapter President through these exciting years. The richness of friendships which grow from our activities is an unfailing source of joy. Respectfully submitted, Jeanne Tearne March 17, 1988 Diane Pugi presented her report. This year the Chapter has given two workshops and hosted the National Conference. This year, Level One course will be sponsored by the Chapter. Sharing sessions are planned for next year.

President s Report to National Executive 1998 Liaison and contacts: Feckla Spaulding Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney Marsha Read Jeannette Jackson Chapter successes The highlight of the last two years for me was the workshop we held in May 1997 with Randy DeLelles and Jeff Kriske. We had as our guest our National President, Alison Kenny-Gardhouse, and the Presidents from British Columbia, Alberta and Lethbridge Chapters.We also had many guests from the Alberta Chapter and from Medicine Hat. We need to do more visiting of other chapters. The level of sharing at this workshop gave our chapter a much needed boost. In July 1996 we held our first level II course in Calgary. Our thanks to Joe Berarducci for coming from Vancouver for this event. It was an outstanding success and we are planning our first Level III this year in July under Joe s capable leadership. Also thanks to Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney for her help in setting up the courses. Regular events: Workshops: Four workshops each school year (September to June); two half-day, two full day This year we held the following: Donna Otto - September 20 - Fall into Orff Wendy Rae - November 8 - Music Matters Diane Sjoberg - January 24 - Moving from A to Z Malcolm Edwards - March 7 - From Unison to Polyphony Meetings: Annual General Meeting - September Monthly executive Meetings Courses Level I course: 6 weekends in fall and winter Introductory course: 6 evenings in the spring

4 Newsletter Orffkestral News - 3 issues annually Chapter Concerns We are working towards University sponsorship of our Levels course. Without accreditation our members do not have transcripts to send for scholarships. This year because of Work to Rule we were not able to hold our Level I course in the Fall. We tried to have it in January, February, March, but there was not enough registration. We plan to try again in the Fall. President s Report to National Executive 2004 Liaison Report Calgary Orff Chapter October, 2004 Submitted by: Adele Buehler, President For: Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney National Liaison ANNOUNCEMENTS; A Chapter scholarship of $ was awarded to Cherlynn Sauter of the Calgary Orff Chapter and applied toward her Level I course this summer, We will be offering our first post Levels course in the summer of 2005 with Steven Calantropio as Instructor. Participants will be immersed in the compositions of the Orff Masters. SUCCESSES; We successfully hosted the Music for Children:Carl Orff Canada National Conference CONNECTIONS - in April/May of this year. The Conference committee was able to report success in terms of attendance, organization, quality of sessions, an abundance of positive feedback and a PROFIT of approximately $15, The Committee had the full cooperation and contribution of the Chapter. Many hours were donated by numerous members of the Executive and the membership to help make this Conference a success! The Chapter offered 3 workshops during the term. (Workshops had in attendance in spite of many Music Specialists having been reassigned to regular classrooms. We did not have a Spring workshop because of the Conference.)

5 September 20, 2003 Leslie Bricker Definitely Orff November 15, 2003 Chapter Sharing Accessing Classroom Curriculum through the Arts January 17, 2004 One World Drum Company The Call of the Drum LEVELS COURSES; - We successfully offered Levels I, II and III this summer. We had 42 students some 27 in level I and the remainder in Levels II and III. We received a great deal of positive feedback regarding the Courses and the Instructors: Joe Berarducci, Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney and Shirley Murray. Several articles regarding the courses were published in the Fall, 2004 Ostinato. The Courses were run on a balanced budget and fulfilled the desires of the Executive to carry themselves financially. FINANCES: We have returned to a good financial status. We were able to have more local Clinicians for workshops Having the Conference here in Calgary lowered costs for this year as well. We now anticipate that we will be able to help cover some of the costs for Eve de Moissac of our Chapter who is now National Secretary and for Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney of our Chapter who is our Liaison Officer and National First Vice President. CHAPTER LIASON REPORT Date: March 23, 2005 Reporter: Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney Chapter: Calgary Contact: Adele Buehler ANNOUNCEMENTS The Calgary Chapter continues to encourage and promote the Orff philosophy of Music education.

Elaine Quillichini March 19, 2005 Imagination in Motion Diane Sjoberg We were again fortunate to be able to hold all of our workshops at Ranchlands School again this term. We are very well received here. The Caretakers are gracious. Lisa Armstrong is our excellent Orff connection teacher. We have decided to change to a 3 full day workshop format rather than 4. This will allow us to re-channel our energies toward advocacy encouraging Orff presentations, making connections with Boards, University personnel etc. It will give much needed time to organize summer courses (Level or Post Level). National Conferences every second Spring will easily fill any missing workshop gap. COURSES; July 5 16, 2004 We offered Levels I, II and III with Joe Berarducci, Debra Giebelhaus- Maloney and Shirley Murray as Course Instructors. These courses were very successful with over 40 students attending and leaving with an excitement about the Orff process.

Executive We have a large, energetic, active Executive new, young blood to carry us into the future. Our newsletter has taken on a new energy particularly with added attention to advocacy of the Orff philosophy and Music education in general. There has been increased communication regarding neighboring Chapters and their workshops. We will include advertising in future issues of our Newsletter.

We will build a more consistent and more vibrant rapport with the University of Calgary as well as Mount Royal College with the aim of introducing students to Orff and consequently to classrooms. We will include an Advocacy section in each Chapter Newsletter. (We issue 3 per year.) This section will provide quotations and accessible activities etc. for Music teachers to help them with advocacy.

Finally we were excited to host J.S. Kofi Gbolonyo, a Ghanaian musician, currently working on his Ph. D at the University of Pittsburgh. We offered a Friday night session of drumming and dancing to complement the Orff-Afrique pedagogy on the Saturday workshop in January. We had a tremendous success with this workshop, with many non-orff members attending. Because of our recent success with our workshops and the Doug Goodkin jazz course offered in August 2007 we are enjoying a healthy bank balance. To return some of this money to our members, we have increased both the number and the dollar amounts of our local scholarships. We are offering $250 for up to four successful applicants for our summer levels courses, $100 for up to five applicants for our spring introductory course, and are sponsoring up to 30 people at $100 each who are attending the Encore National conference in Edmonton. We have also had success with attracting new members to our Orff executive, with Bonnie Jaycock, Tashina Hanrath, Linda Newton-Zaharia and Bonnie Kvicala joining us in various positions. NEW VENTURES: The Calgary Chapter has recently started a website, which is nearly ready to be launched at this time.

CHANGES (personal or professional): The biggest change within the Calgary Orff Chapter has been the loss of our Past President, Rachel Saxberg. She resigned in December due to personal reasons, which has left us without an experienced leader. The planning of our Orff introductory and Orff levels courses this spring and summer have been IIIB5c: Chapter President s Annual Reports: Calgary Page 18

19 now left to myself, our vice president, Cherlynn Sauter, our course instructor and National President, Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney and our past-past president Adele Buhler. CONCERNS (personal or professional): Being left without a past-president has made this year hard for me. Without having a mentor, someone who has gone through the job of being the chapter president has been difficult, but has been made easier with the amazing support of Debra Giebelhaus-Maloney and the other members of our Calgary executive. Many thanks go out to all. COMMENTS RE NATIONAL BUSINESS: We are glad to provide support for our National Orff executive members from Calgary. We have paid for airfare and hotels of both Debra, our President and Eve DeMoissac, the national secretary for events and meetings this year. SUGGESTED NATIONAL AGENDA ITEMS: The distribution of chapter minutes and chapter newsletters has been sporadic at best this year. Is every chapter president aware that minutes and newsletters need to be forwarded to all the other chapter presidents? SUGGESTED ACTIONS: Discussion at National chapter presidents meeting in Edmonton. OTHER: The Calgary Orff Chapter would like to thank all members of the National Executive, Music for Children Carl Orff Canada, for all their many hours of hard work.

20 November 2008 Date November 2008 Chapter: Calgary National Executive Reporter Cathy Bayley ChapterContact: Nail Heather ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tim Wiegand Energizing Your Music Class Saturday, November 22, 2008 Randy and Jeff workshop Orff You Gotta Love It! Saturday January 17 th, 2009 SUCCESSES: Last year s workshops and our first workshop of the year were well attended and well received. We had many non-orff teachers attend, and our membership numbers are growing (95 at the start of this year). Also, our summer levels courses were attended by 45 students from all over Canada, and some from as far away as Hong Kong and Korea. Due to our successes in our workshops and levels courses, we continue to enjoy good financial health. We will continue to look for ways to give this money back to our members in meaningful ways scholarships, sponsoring children s performing groups, providing some funding for national conferences, and paying for the National Past-President (a Calgary Chapter member) to attend Orff conferences and meetings. NEW VENTURES: Our website is up and running We are participating in a number of Orff advocacy initiatives, and are about to start a scholarship to be given to a group of teachers wanting to put on an Orff concert to promote the Orff philosophy. CHANGES (personal or professional): Our Calgary Orff Executive is changing, with 5 new members-at-large joining us in September. Next year we are looking at finding a new treasurer, vice president and newsletter editor. CONCERNS (personal or professional): Scholarships we offered 9 qualified applicants up to $1500 in scholarship money this past year, and had only one applicant, who received $250 towards the summer levels course. We are promoting these scholarships to our membership, at our workshops and through our newsletter and hope to share some of our excess funds in this way. Our intro Orff course this spring had to be cancelled due to low numbers. We are puzzled as to why this happened, and are hopeful to have a full course in the spring of COMMENTS RE NATIONAL BUSINESS: None at this time. SUGGESTED NATIONAL AGENDA ITEMS: None at this time. SUGGESTED ACTIONS: None at this time. OTHER: The Calgary Chapter would like to thank the National Orff Executive for all the amazing work they do to on our behalf. Many Canadian students feel the impact of your dedication and hard work! Thank you! Respectfully submitted, IIIB5c: Chapter President s Annual Reports: Calgary Page 20

Upcoming: Sept. 26, 2009 Karen Petty: Mother Goose is on the Loose! Nov. 14, 2009 Catherine Glaser-Climie: Choral Jan Susie Green: Weaving Movement Oct. 2, 2010 Rick Layton Nov Chapter sharing day SUCCESSES: Our membership continues to grow, as we are currently nearing 100 subscription members this year. Our workshops are well attended, with many new faces joining us for our Bring a Friend for Free workshop in November. Because of our increase in numbers, we currently are enjoying a healthy bank balance, though we are being conservative with the recession looming. We were also excited to offer 45 students from around the world the chance to complete their level 1, 2 or 3 this past July, and we are also offering our introductory course, staring April 14 and running into May. NEW VENTURES: Our website has become a reality this past year. Check out We are also looking to provide funding for our members wanting to put on Orff concerts. This will be through an application process, much like our scholarships, as we want to ensure the quality of a show bearing the Orff name. CHANGES (personal or professional): We had 5 enthusiastic members join our executive as members-at-large at our September workshop this past year. Two of these ladies have agreed to take on the treasurer/membership secretary position in the fall of CONCERNS (personal or professional): Our executive meetings are well attended by the same people, while some of our executive attends nearly none of the meetings. Often when we have to discuss and vote on a motion, we have to send out an to ask everyone to vote so we can have quorum. Providing snacks and wine helps, but everyone has such busy lives that it is challenging to find the perfect time when we can all meet together. Lately we have been having trouble booking workshop clinicians. Our vice president sends out invitations and gets little to no response. We also are always looking for new people to invite, but having no clinicians list (as the National had provided in past years), makes it difficult to search for contacts for quality presenters. COMMENTS RE NATIONAL BUSINESS:None at this time. SUGGESTED NATIONAL AGENDA ITEMS:None at this time. SUGGESTED ACTIONS:None at this time. IIIB5c: Chapter President s Annual Reports: Calgary Page 21

22 OTHER: The Calgary Chapter would like to thank members of the National executive for the work they do to support quality Orff music education across the country. We appreciate all that you do! November 2009 Date: November 2009 Reporter: Cherlynn Sauter, President Chapter: Calgary Orff Chapter Contact: Cathy Bayley ANNOUNCEMENTS: We are once again looking ahead to offering Orff Levels courses I-III in the summer of We continue to have excellent response to this and high levels of interested participants, despite the economic challenges being faced by many. We are also very excited to have been able to successfully invite Rick Layton and Doug Goodkin to present workshops for our chapter in October 2010 and January 2011, respectively. SUCCESSES: Due to Karen Petty s sudden illness and resulting cancellation one week prior to our scheduled September workshop, we were very happy to have Joe Berarducci fill in at the eleventh hour so that we did not have to cancel our key workshop for attracting new subscription members as well as renewing our membership for the year. Catherine Glaser-Climie presented fan amazing choral workshop for us on Nov. 14 th She is highly acclaimed local presenter and founder of the Cantare Children s choir, who perform worldwide. On January 16, 2010 we are pleased to be hosting Susie Green who will present the workshop Weaving Movement. In addition, we continue to enjoy a healthy membership as well as healthy participation in the three workshops that we present each year, resulting in a continuation of a good financial status as a Chapter despite recent economic challenges. NEW VENTURES: We are offering more scholarships, funded by our Chapter, to our membership towards our Intro course, our Levels courses, to assist with attendance at the National conference, and to support advocacy opportunities such as an Orff the Wall concert that showcases both the Orff approach and advocating for music as part of a balanced curriculum in all schools. CHANGES (personal or professional): We have a new executive that was voted in at our September 2009 AGM(see attached file) with many brand new faces that are gifting the Chapter with their valuable volunteer time. The new faces include Ondrea Mann, our new Treasurer, Kate Ceri, our new publicity person, along with several new members-at-large. We were sad to say good-bye to Marguerite Boychuk, who has served our chapter for over 10 years in the position of Treasurer. CONCERNS (personal or professional): We have grave concerns regarding the new proposed Fine Arts curriculum being proposed for the province of Alberta. The new proposed framework essentially waters down the music curriculum with no specific objectives related to skills or knowledge. Instead, each of the areas of Fine Arts are presented in terms of modules that offer a surface sampling of the discipline and do not require the knowledge of any specialist teachers. In light of the expected severe education budget cuts that have been predicted next year, this situation for specialist teachers becomes even more alarming. Many schools already do not support a quality music program, and essentially, the new proposed curriculum gives schools a legitimate reason to not longer budget for music specialists. As president of the Calgary Orff Chapter, I have been asked to present some of these concerns to a forum of Arts Stakeholders and government officials, along with Sue Harvie. Also, we are strongly encouraging our membership to respond to the on-line feed back IIIB5c: Chapter President s Annual Reports: Calgary Page 22

23 questionnaire regarding this new proposed curriculum and to advise their school/parent communities of these concerns. We continue to work towards establishing a relationship with the University of Calgary, that singularly supports Kodaly and does not recognize Orff as a legitimate pedegogy. In addition, the university is making major cuts to all arts-based pedagogy courses/degress offered, including music. We are looking into a way that would enable people to register for workshops,etc. directly through our web-site as it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict workshop attendances beyond our membership, as very few people are willing to use snail mail or take the time to phone in their registrations. In addition, we feel that if it was easier to register, it would help us attract more new members. Many thanks to Heather Nail, our past president, for her support and encouragement as I learn the ropes in my new position as chapter president. COMMENTS RE NATIONAL BUSINESS: None at this time SUGGESTED NATIONAL AGENDA ITEMS: Is there anything that National can do in order to assist us with advocating for quality music programs-especially in light of the devastating new proposed general Arts Curriculum? Thank-you to the entire National Executive for their tireless service and patience on our behalf-it is greatly appreciated. SUGGESTED ACTIONS: None at this time OTHER: April 2010 Chapter: Calgary Orff Chapter National Exeuctive Reporter: Cathy Bayley Chapter Contact: Cherlynn Sauter, President (chersauter@shaw.ca) or Holger Mauthe, Vice-President (holgermauthe@hotmail.com) ANNOUNCEMENTS: We are once again looking ahead to offering Orff Levels courses I-III from July 5-16, We continue to have excellent response to this and high levels of interested participants. We have recently adjusted our yearly workshop schedule from a Sept.-Nov-Jan timeline to a Fall-Sept.-Oct., a Winter-Jan.-Feb., and a Spring-Mar.-Apr. timeline. This decision was made for two reasons-1)we felt that the gap between the January workshop and September was too significant resulting in the Chapter feeling like they were losing touch with its membership and keeping up with publicity to attract new members and 2) This will allow for additional flexibility in booking the clinicians we feel will be of the most benefit to our membership. o We are looking forward to welcoming: Rick Layton with Singing and Saying, Moving and Playing, on October 2, Doug Goodkin on January 14 th and 15 th, SUCCESSES: On January 16, 2010 we were pleased to host Susie Green who will presented the workshop Weaving Movement. The workshop was well-received by enthusiastic participants. IIIB5c: Chapter President s Annual Reports: Calgary Page 23

24 In addition, we have recently improved our electronic/mail communication protocols with our surrounding school boards so that we can more efficiently send out information about workshops and/or things that our Chapter is doing to support teachers. We are hoping that we will be able to increase our membership, as well as ensure that we are meeting the needs of our current membership with this more efficient communication. NEW VENTURES: We are offering more scholarships, funded by our Chapter, to our membership towards our Intro course, our Levels courses, to assist with attendance at the National conference, and to support advocacy opportunities such as an Orff the Wall concert that showcases both the Orff approach and advocating for music as part of a balanced curriculum in all schools. We are also working on developing a Handbook of Executive duties and Responsibilities specific to the Calgary Chapter as we have many new faces on the executive. In addition, we are reshuffling some of the duties between executive members in order to function more efficiently and ensure that responsibilities are clearly laid out for each exec. member now and in the future. One example of this is separating the Treasurer and Membership Secretary Roles which have traditionally been handled by our Treasurer. We will also be adding the position of Web Manager, who will communicate with our Web Master to ensure that our web-site is up to date and look into new technology opportunities for upgrading the capabilities of our site. We are also working on redesigning our workshop brochures to more prominently feature the Calgary Orff Chapter name and logo to further increase our presence. CHANGES (personal or professional): We have a new executive that was voted in at our September 2009 AGM with many brand new faces that are gifting the Chapter with their valuable volunteer time. The new faces include Ondrea Mann, our new Treasurer, Kate Ceri, our new publicity person, along with several new members-at-large. We were sad to say good-bye to Marguerite Boychuk, who has served our chapter for over 10 years in the position of Treasurer. CONCERNS (personal or professional): (from previous Liason Report)- We have grave concerns regarding the new proposed Fine Arts curriculum being proposed for the province of Alberta. The new proposed framework essentially waters down the music curriculum with no specific objectives related to skills or knowledge. Instead, each of the areas of Fine Arts are presented in terms of modules that offer a surface sampling of the discipline and do not require the knowledge of any specialist teachers. In light of the expected severe education budget cuts that have been predicted next year, this situation for specialist teachers becomes even more alarming. Many schools already do not support a quality music program, and essentially, the new proposed curriculum gives schools a legitimate reason to not longer budget for music specialists. As president of the Calgary Orff Chapter, I have been asked to present some of these concerns to a forum of Arts Stakeholders and government officials, along with Sue Harvie. Also, we are strongly encouraging our membership to respond to the on-line feed back questionnaire regarding this new proposed curriculum and to advise their school/parent communities of these concerns. o Since this time, due to the overwhelming concern voiced by Fine Arts education stakeholders, the implementation date of this new curriculum has been delayed to 2014, pending a review process by Alberta Education. We continue to work towards establishing a relationship with the University of Calgary, that at this time, singularly supports Kodaly and does not recognize Orff as a legitimate pedagogy. In addition, the university is making major cuts to all arts-based pedagogy courses/degrees offered, including music. IIIB5c: Chapter President s Annual Reports: Calgary Page 24
