LEVEL 1 - FINE ARTS THEATER

Doug is internationally known for his work as a music educator and particularly as a proponent of Orff Schulwerk, a dynamic approach to music education developed by composer Carl Orff and his colleague, Gunild Keetman. Currently in his 41st year at The San Francisco School, where he works with children between three years old and eighth grade, Doug also maintains a rigorous schedule of teacher training, presenting at conferences and giving workshops and courses in over 44 countries throughout the world. He is the author of eight books and numerous articles and is a featured speaker in the TEDx Talks. Doug is particularly well-known for his innovative application of Orff practice to the teaching of jazz and music of diverse cultures, as well as connecting Orff’s generative ideas with the whole of education, culture, and human potential. In addition to his workshops with local populations, Doug was one of the headliners at numerous ECIS conferences in Europe, EARCOS conferences in Bangkok and Kota Kinabalu, and has been a visiting artist and workshop leader at international schools in Amsterdam, London, Vienna, Budapest, Santiago, Bangkok, Beijing, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo, and Yokohama.

Keynote Title: THE HUMANITARIAN MUSICIAN What can music contribute to the special challenges of the 21st century? How can music education help create future citizens prepared to meet those challenges? How can we expand our notions of both music and music education to create a humanitarian future? Drawn from 41 years of teaching children in one school and leading Orff Schulwerk courses in 44 countries worldwide, Doug Goodkin will challenge our notions of what music is, how it is essential to every school curriculum, and how it can be enlarged to edge us toward the full possibilities of our humanitarian promise.
