Orff-Schulwerk is a unique approach to music education based on the teachings of Carl Orff. This child-centered approach combines speech, movement, song, and instrument playing in a creative, engaging atmosphere where students are actively engaged in the music-making process.

Designed for anyone with the ability to read music, this Level I course will develop understanding of the teaching and learning process of the Orff-Schulwerk approach to music and movement. The daily program will include pedagogy, soprano recorder, movement, and special topics. Instruction will focus on Orff-Schulwerk techniques, rhythmic and melodic training, improvisation, pentatonic scales, ostinato, simple bordun accompaniments, and elemental forms.
