My name is Catherine Irwin
and it’s my second year as the Music Specialist here at Catherine Nichols Gunn. This is my tenth year as an elementary music
specialist with the Calgary Board of Education.
I have taught music at Mayland Heights, Greenview, Eugene Coste and
Douglas Harkness. It is a pleasure
teaching here at C.N. Gunn and I am thrilled to be a part of your community again!
I am an Orff trained teacher
with my Level II in the Orff approach to teaching elementary music. The Orff approach was developed by composer,
Carl Orff. The Orff Method is a way of
teaching children about music that engages their mind and body through a
mixture of singing, dancing, creating and the use of percussion instruments
(i.e. xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels, and non pitched percussion).
I look forward to getting to know your children and making magic happen in our Music room.
