HI~Arts, Artlink Highland and NESTA have combined funding for Doug Goodkin, music educator and proponent of Orff Sculwerk to come to the Highlands in the first week of March 2004.

Alpha Munro, musician and educator from Ross and Cromarty asked Doug if he could “stop by” on his tour round the world, between Iceland and Rome. Alpha has a fellowship with NESTA and will be combining her research with Doug’s workshops.

Doug has worked and studied at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for 30 years and delivers a hands-on approach to understanding music and its relevance to child development and education. He has worked with children from 3 to 18 years for over 20 years, and is particularly known for his innovative application to jazz, multi-cultural and traditional music.
