A remarkably user-friendly guide and powerful teaching tool for music educators who are interested in self-expression through music improvisation. BoomDoPa offers 31 ethnic-influenced improvisations for a range of ages, appropriate for any classroom, and a great way to approach multi-cultural education.

As a cutting-edge workshop facilitator, trainer and consultant, Mary’s clinics and learning materials emphasize creativity, leadership and nonverbal communications.
Besides being an Orff Schulwerk clinician, Mary also acts as a teaching artist for the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, Young Audiences of NJ, and New York BOCES, and is an international master teacher/trainer with the Music for People organization.
