Julie Scott is Assistant Professor in Music Education at Southern Methodist University. She recently completed a Ph.D. at the Eastman School of Music, where she was Assistant Professor of Music Education for one year. Prior to teaching at the collegiate level, Dr. Scott taught elementary music in Texas schools for 17 years. She has been a director of children's choirs in both school and church settings, currently as director of the Lewisville ISD 5th Grade Honor Choir, which was selected as one of two elementary choirs to perform at the Texas Music Educators Conference in 2004. Previously, Dr. Scott served as the children's choir director at First United Methodist Church, Dallas and as director of the Mesquite All-City Girls Choir. Her choirs have been featured on two recordings for Choristers Guild, and she is the author of the Early Childhood Year 3 Stepping Stones children’s choir curriculum, which is published by Choristers Guild.
I was privileged to have Dr. Scott talk with me during my break from Orff Level III classes at SMU. She gives a great overview of what Orff-Schulwerk is. Enjoy!
