What is this Orff Thing?"
Orff Schulwerk
is an approach to teaching music, which involves the teacher and students as
co-creators in the music classroom. The Teacher is a guide, ready to allow the
students to have control of the process where and when it is possible. The
curriculum is based on the development of these skills with the labeling of the
concept following the experience and experimentation of the music.
Lessons are organized in this way:
- speech
- rhythm
- melody building
- instrument and vocal
technique
- harmony
- movement
- improvisation with all of
the above
