I serve on The Orff Echo editorial board, the quarterly peer-reviewed journal of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association and frequently publish my own articles on music education, the arts, Orff Schulwerk, and Responsive Classroom. I also was a Key Content Contributor to the essential book for specials teachers, Responsive Classroom for Music, Art, PE and Other Special Areas. Check out my articles below!
