Description: Orff Schulwerk relies on rhythmic speech, physical movement, and musical play to actively engage students in musical learning. This approach uses poems, rhymes, games, songs, and dances-all of which are natural and enjoyable to children-as springboards to educational music experiences. The cultivation of imagination and creativity is an important goal of Orff Schulwerk. Participants in this workshop will gain an understanding of the pedagogical processes of the Orff Schulwerk approach while building a collection of immediately usable classroom materials.
