EXPLORING OUR ROOTS,
EXPANDING OUR FUTURE Volume 1: Lessons 1-4
Explore the Schulwerk with your students
with Brian Crisp as your guide. These are the first four lessons in MMB Music’s
free Orff curriculum, complete with detailed objectives, lessons, assessment, video
demonstrations, and instrument recommendations.
Movement, speech, composition, and
song provide students with necessary material for concrete music learning and creating.
Synthesizing these materials will provide an aesthetic experience that is joyful
and meaningful to teacher and students, while the fundamentals of music are utilized.
These fundamentals are presented in new and varied forms through the media of movement,
choral speech work, instruments, and song. As with any Schulwerk experience, the
possibilities are fueled by the imaginations of all involved.
TEACHER TALK
Brian Crisp interviews Brian Burnett
Crisp: What was
your first introduction to the Orff-Schulwerk and what aspects attracted you?
Burnett: I was
first introduced to the Schulwerk in a county-wide children’s music festival. Teachers
were using Orff instruments to accompany the children’s chorus. Afterwards, these
teachers gave a demonstration using the barred instruments to accompany singing. At the time, I was a band director who was also teaching general music—the
instrumental nature and sound of the barred instruments thrilled me.
