Teacher Workshops offered 
by Mother-Daughter Song Team

The workshop, "Fun Music Activities for Classroom or Music Room", 
taught by veteran teacher Pat Harris and her daughter Terri Thurman Finck.
The workshop is available to teachers in public schools, private
schools, pre-schools, and to other organizations.

The hands-on workshop can be offered as a half-day or whole-day class with 
most schools offering CPDU credits. (Graduate university credit can be 
obtained for an additional small fee and an extended student activity.) 

The music activities workshop has been enthusiastically received when
presented every year since 2001 at Willamette University, Salem, Oregon
each October during Oregon’s State Teacher In-Service workshops.

No prerequisites are required for the workshop.  The music book, "Fun Music 
Activities for Classroom or Music Room", along with the songs from the CDs, 
 "Galliump!" and "Galliump! Folk Songs and New Favorites", are used as the 
text for the workshop.  Those attending are invited to participate actively in the songs, 
dances, puppetry, movement, and playing rhythm instruments.  A fun time is guaranteed!

Patricia Harris and Terri Finck are offering the workshop widely in 
Oregon and Washington, and would gladly offer it in other locales 
as well. Schools or other groups interested in the workshop are
welcome to contact them by phone or e-mail (shown below). 
 

School Assemblies and Library Shows

The Mother-Daughter Song Team, Patricia Harris and 
Terri Thurman Finck, continue presenting interactive shows 
for children in schools and libraries --as a team and individually. 
They use a variety of their original Galliump! songs and dances, 
their new songs, as well as folk songs, songs and dances from other 
countries (including Mexico), patriotic and holiday songs. 

Patricia and Terri tailor their children's shows to fit appropriate 
age levels.  They are able to present songs and dances to fit particular 
themes when asked to do so (Patriotic, Holiday, Bears, etc.)   Pat's school
teaching experience enables her to choose the right songs for each age level.  
Their performances are interactive with children -  invited to sing along at times, 
play rhythm instruments, dance along (stand-in-place dances), and act out songs 
with puppets. Many songs relate well to books and school curriculum, particularly 
science, social studies, history, art, and the study of other cultures.  Such songs
include "Amanda the Panda", "Singin Alligator Boogie", "The Funny Little
Rockhopper Penguins", and several new songs, "Jungle Beat", "Snork
the Elephant", "Down On Pelican Bay", "Joe the Iguana from Tijuana", 
and "Sea Biscuit", as well as several folk songs from other
countries and from America's Westward Movement.
Contact Pat or Terri for more information.
