Lindsey Mason

Lindsey has been teaching music in a variety of settings for over 25 years in both New Zealand and the United States. She is currently the music specialist at Evans Bay Intermediate School, where she directs the orchestra and choir, as well as teaches general music classes. Lindsey has done Orff Levels courses in the United States, as well as New Zealand, and has a passion for embodying the elements of the Orff approach in her teaching across a variety of settings.

Rani Allan

Rani uses dance and folk music in my work with groups, especially those living with dementia. Particular folk songs connect people to their childhood or youth, these memories bring them alive, smiling, laughing and moving in time to the beat. Folk songs often connect people to their heritage and culture giving a sense connection to others who share the same and their identities. Some of these fun and reminiance songs will be shared in our Folk dancing session.

Priya Gain

Suzanne Thom

Suzanne and Priya have experience singing and dancing with children from early childhood through to upper primary years.  Folk songs and dances are a central part of their Orff based teaching programmes and in this workshop they will each share a favourite.
