“Play is the work of children.” Carl Orff

Sing, dance, and play with me in an Orff Schulwerk based music class. The Orff Schulwerk is a developmental approach to music education that utilizes singing, movement, rhythmic play, speech, story, and instrument play to unlock the innate musicianship in every child. We will be so busy having fun that the children will not realize how hard they are working to develop the essential skills required to be a musical person. We will lay the groundwork to perhaps someday learn to play an instrument or sing in a choir. We will learn to match pitch, sing melodies in tune, keep a steady beat, make rhythmic patterns, move expressively to music, folk dance, understand basic musical forms, and more! Children will also be exposed to Kodaly’s system of solfege and the beginnings of reading notation on the staff. Now is the ideal time to participate in high quality musical experiences in order to develop musical neuropathways. Let’s make a joyful noise together!

“Tell me, I forget, show me, I remember, involve me, I understand.” Carl Orff
