LEVEL I INFORMATION About Orff Schulwerk Orff Schulwerk is a unique approach to music education. Carl Orff founded this child-centered approach that connects speech, movement, song, instruments, and listening, emphasizing creativity and active engagement by the children. Within these connections, the Orff approach addresses all aspects of a child’s musical development—performing, creating, listening, and analyzing—in ways that encourage the child’s joyful imagination and musical spirit. About the Course The daily schedule will include basic Orff pedagogy, soprano recorder, movement, and a special topic that will differ each day. Orff techniques include simple borduns, the pentatonic scale, ostinati, pitched and unpitched percussion instruments, rhythmic and melodic training, improvisation, and elemental forms. To make this a most enjoyable experience you will want to bring the following: Casual Dress (for an air-conditioned classroom) Comfortable shoes Soprano recorder For additional information regarding course content, please contact Dr. Linda Thompson at lthompson@leeuniversity.edu or phone 423.614.8245.
