The Interactive Music Room at the National Orff Conference

The Interactive Music Room book 1 (beginning primary) made its first public appearance at Creating New Blends, the National Orff Conference in Adelaide Jan 3-8.

We have some pics of author and South Australian teacher, Cheryl Burgemeister, presenting her workshop. The delegates were as excited as us about this stunning new way of combining classroom music education and technology and The Interactive Music Room was certainly one of the big buzzes of the conference. A big thank you to Glennys Gysbers & the team for having us there and to Richard Gysbers for wonderful tech support.



We’ll also be demonstrating it in Brisbane (May), Sydney (May), Perth (June) and Melbourne (May & Aug). Interactive whiteboards are amazing teaching tools and enormous fun (at least, that’s how we’ve approached the Music Room software). Come along to one of the PDs and have a play with it. Check here for details.

Music Room 6 ready soon!

For all those upper primary teachers who have been hanging out for book 6 – it is just about ready (just some film editing to do for the DVD) and will be out in Feb.

It has a cracker of an end-of-year module – ‘MusikWizz’ (a cross between Spicks & Specks, RockWizz and the national curriculum).

Why not preorder now!
