Orff Schulwerk Teacher Education

June 10-21, 2019: Levels I and II

This approach to learning, developed by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman, builds musicianship through singing, playing instruments, speaking, moving and improvising. Active music making is the core of this philosophy, supporting both conceptual learning and affective development of children. Children who regularly improvise and create their own music and movement are uniquely prepared to solve problems in many other contexts.

Level I teacher education course is open to teachers who have earned at least a bachelor's degree in music education as well as undergraduate seniors pursuing a degree in music education or music performance (previous Orff chapter workshop attendance is recommended).

Level II course is open to those who have completed an AOSA-approved Level I course.

You will develop and apply skills in:

  • Singing, Expressive Speech, Movement
  • Orff Ensemble/Percussion
  • Improvisation/Composition, Recorder and Pedagogy

This is an American Orff-Schulwerk Association approved course.

Faculty

  • Program Director: Amy Beegle, Associate Professor of Music Education
