About The New England Chapter (NE/AOSA) |
|
The New England Chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association (NE/AOSA) serves the Greater Boston and New England Area. The Chapter offers full-time college students, classroom teachers, music teachers, and administrators six workshops each year for a modest fee, and full-time students are free. Through these workshops individuals learn and grow as educators and future educators and have the opportunity to connect with each other. Each year, NE/AOSA also offers $500 scholarships to members who wish to attend the AOSA National Conference and for those who wish to take Orff Music Teacher Training Levels courses. The number of scholarships offered varies each season. The information to apply for these scholarships can be found by clicking on the word "scholarships" in the menu above.

"The real goal of the Schulwerk is attained in one's enjoyment of the fruitful combination of personal and interpersonal resources."
