"Thank you for sharing your Journey Through Outer Space workshop at the National Carl Orff Canada Conference! It was wonderful to move, sing and play, and of course laugh and learn, our way through your unique composition. Each thoughtful step was a delight of sound, movement and luminescent colour. Just like space, you seem to have infinite creative ideas to share with your fortunate students!"
- Kristy Fiegehen, Carl Orff Canada Membership Secretary
"At the Orff National Conference, I was blown away by Steph and Sean's creativity and originality in their 'Phyrgian Galaxy' session. The material was both a good challenge for the upper elementary students, but also fun and engaging! You can see Steph and Sean work well together and have carefully thought out the music, dancing and instrument parts. The glow-in-the-dark balls, sticks, rings, etc. were effective additions to the piece as well. Thank you for sharing your ideas and making the session so interactive and enjoyable!"
- Angela Lee, Alberta Orff Chapter Past President
"Steph and Sean are energetic and engaging presenters. Using all aspects of the Orff approach -- singing, playing, moving, exploring, and improvising -- their creative and innovative ideas are accessible and ready to use. Their musical ideas and activities will engage and motivate your students in the music room. If you have the opportunity, don't miss their presentations, you will not be disappointed!"
- Jewel Casselman, Manitoba Orff Chapter Past President
"Sean and Steph are the 'dynamic duo' of elementary music teachers! Not only are their music classes filled with fun and jam-packed with creativity, so are their workshop sessions. Attendees walk away from these workshops with high calibre materials that they can incorporate in their own music rooms. Plus, their handouts are very detailed, pedagogically thought out, and presented in a visually appealing manner.
I have had the privilege of working with both of these talented young people. I got to see first-hand how hard they both work and how dedicated they both are to offering unique and valuable musical experiences to everyone. Thank you Sean and Steph for sharing your creativity, expertise, and love of music!"
