ORFF EDUCATION

“Whenever I plant a tree, I never know how big it will be. Some trees stay small; others grow very tall. It all depends on the quality of the earth, sunshine and other factors.”
— Carl Orff

A Legacy of Learning

Carl Orff’s visionary teaching philosophy is deeply intertwined with MMB Music’s history. More than 40 years ago, Norm Goldberg, our founder, helped bring Orff’s ideas and instruments to American classrooms. Today, our dedication to the Orff philosophy is reflected in the ways we support your teaching endeavors. The products we offer – Studio 49 Orff Instruments and Mountain Rythym percussion instruments – are the finest tools available for your classroom. But, just as a tree requires many ingredients to grow tall and strong, a true Orff educational experience requires more than just instruments. In that spirit, we have designed this website to serve as a helpful forum for teachers. Here, you can find expert advice, new product spotlights, teacher testimonials, and ideas for bringing excitement to your classroom.
