Meet Rhonda Macken...
Rhonda was the coordinator of the ABC Sing! Project for 21 years, giving workshops for primary teachers in Australia and New Zealand.
Now retired, she was also a music specialist teacher, teaching music in primary and secondary schools and in tertiary teaching degrees.
She believes that music is for everyone and is an integral part of our human development. Music needs to be enjoyed and it needs to be fun.
Rhonda writes educational resources and is a children’s songwriter, choral and chamber music composer.
She is very happy to put her children’s songs out there for teachers to use and has generously provided these without cost through our Orff Blog.
In the next weeks, we will be posting songs and activities that Rhonda has created and we hope they will be of use to you.
Please enjoy…!
