ORFF CURRICULUM

Explore. Improvise. Compose. Enjoy!

With so much information readily available, many educators continue to have questions about the nature and implementation of the Schulwerk. How do I use speech to promote melody making? Do students really create the music? Do students in an Orff-Schulwerk learning environment ever read music? How do my students use the Orff instruments? What instruments do I need in my classroom?

This curriculum series, written by Brian Crisp for MMB Music, will answer these questions as well as explore the historical works of Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman and the development of key ideas inherent to the Schulwerk.
