This special program for music educators, music
therapists, choral directors, and classroom teachers
with extensive music background is offered to those who
wish to learn the fundamental pedagogy of Carl Orff’s
music and movement for children. The approach is one of
active music-making through singing, instrumental
ensemble on special instruments, movement, and
improvisation. The curriculum is based on the sequence
outlined by the American Orff Schulwerk Association (AOSA).
Special topics in the course include multicultural
applications of the material such as folk dance sessions
and story telling.
