What Does Orff Want?

  • An all-inclusive approach to learning
  • Children to perform, create, improvise, listen, analyze
  • Students to become self sufficient musically

The Orff Schulwerk Philosophy

  • Children learn through play, and games are their textbook
  • Game playing is universal to children, with similiar type games (such as stone passing) found in different countries on different continents.
  • The game/fun feel allows for easy repetition (Hey! They are practicing and don't know it! And they didn't even have to fill out a practice log!)

What Is It?

So What Are Some Ways He Supports In Teaching Music?

Orff Schulwerk (schoolwork) is a process of music learning developed for students to learn musicality

  • Named after Carl Orff (1895-1982), a German composer, who developed the principals in the 20th century
  • Speak, move, sing, do
  • Start with rhythm
  • Break off into speech and movement
  • Big in body percussion
  • Stomp
  • Pat(schen)
  • Clap
  • Snap
  • Apply work to other aspects (movement, transfer patterns to instruments, singing, etc)
  • Ostinato, drone, bourdon

Where Did It Come From And

How Did It Develop?

  • Orff teamed with Dorothee Gunther (dancer) to create Gutherschule in Munich for musicians and dancers to integrate their arts
  • Inspired by Dalcroze, Laban, and Mendsendieck

  • Music gained momentum through demand for copies of radio broadcasts in which their music was featured
