“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:

  1. speech
  2. rhythm  
  3. melody building  
  4. instrument and vocal technique
  5. harmony
  6. movement
  7. improvisation with all of the above
