Orff Schulwerk Levels 1 and II Summer Training

Releasing creativity that extends far beyond the music classroom, Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman conceived an approach to building musicianship in every learner through the integration of music, movement, speech, and drama. In Orff Shulwerk classrooms, children begin with what that do instinctively: play! Imitation, experimentation, and personal expression occur naturally as students become confident, life-long musicians and creative problem solvers. The Orff approach to teaching is a model for optimal learning in 21^st century classrooms.

What are Orff Schulwerk Levels Courses?

Teachers of Orff Schulwerk must become dancers, singers, and instrumentalists, finding new ways to express artistic ideas with unfamiliar instruments as well as their bodies and voices. Orff Schulwerk Levels I/II are two of the three levels courses offered as 10-day, intensive summer training courses toward receiving American Orff Schulwerk Association (AOSA) Certification. This course provides a foundational understanding of the Orff Schulwerk approach to teaching music where participants will experience and examine teaching concepts, processes, and philosophies as well as gain basic skills in performing, improvising, and composing through chant, song, body percussion, pitched and unpitched percussion, recorder, and movement.

The course takes place from July 8 – 19, Monday through Friday, 8:30pm – 4:30pm.
