General Information
Orff Schulwerk is an approach to music education based on the principles developed by Carl Orff, a composer and music educator who lived and worked in Europe from 1895 to 1982.
Orff Schulwerk offers a holistic approach to music education. It integrates singing, speech activities, movement, folk dance and the playing of percussion instruments to encourage active music making in an inclusive atmosphere. It can be applied to all educational levels and in community music. The Levels Course will include activities and repertoire suitable for all educational settings. Singing and saying nursery rhymes and speech verses are combined with sound gestures or body percussion (clapping, stamping, finger clicking, etc).
These practical activities lay the foundation for broad musical development. Participants will develop skills in the range of ‘Orff instruments’ from simple non tuned percussion (eg tambourines) to recorders, xylophones and glockenspiels.
Each Level course focuses on ‘learning by doing’ which assists educators to develop their understanding of the Orff Schulwerk Approach through practical music making and meaningful experiences.
The course is 37 hours over 5 days and includes the following 6 subjects:
Recorder, Pedagogy, Technique & Improvisation, Vocal, Movement & Dance and Orchestration.
Participants will be encouraged to develop their understanding and skills in order to confidently share music experiences with students of all ages and stages of development.
