American River Orff-Schulwerk Association AROSA, a non-profit music organization, is a chapter of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association.

We believe that learning about music — learning to sing and play, to hear and understand, to move and create — should be a joyful experience.

Grab your ukuleles and recorders, our final workshop is just around the corner!

We are beyond thrilled to welcome Dr. Martina Vasil () for our final workshop of the season. Come learn from one of the best on Saturday, April 18th at Tim’s Music.

Ever wonder how the “informal” learning styles of your students’ favorite pop stars can actually fit into your classroom? Dr. Vasil is diving deep into the bridge between popular music and the Orff-Keetman approach, showing us how to make modern learning feel like second nature.

What to bring:
Your Ukulele
Your Recorder
Your best energy!

Don’t miss this chance to end the season with fresh ideas and a lot of fun. Registration link in our bio. See you there!
