On behalf of the WAOSA Committee, we would like to wish all of our music teachers a wonderful start to Term One, 2021. We know it’s been a tricky start so we hope you have lots of fun finally welcoming your students back into your music rooms.
We would also like to acknowledge all teachers who may have been affected by the recent Gidgegannup fires.
Below are two vocal chants and accompanying ostinati, composed by Ash Bisdee (our Orffwest blog editor). Feel free to use them with your students and have some fun creating your own lyrics as well.

Ostinato 1: Beep beepity beep (alarm clock sound)
Ostinato 2: Do we really have to?
