Lynn Kleiner

An Orff Approach for Different Ages, Different Stages
A variety of materials will offer plenty of singing, dancing, and playing for preschool and elementary children!  We’ll have creating, reading, writing and recorder too!    

Lynn Kleiner is founder and director of Music Rhapsody, a music school for parents and infants, toddlers and young children up through 8th grade Orff and recorder ensembles. Lynn and her team of teachers have taught thousands of children in day care centers, preschools, elementary schools and at Music Rhapsody locations since 1983. The need for a music school in Southern California was obvious due to the dramatic cuts of music programs in the schools. Previously, Lynn was a public school Orff Schulwerk music specialist in Illinois, then Arizona schools. Lynn has presented for National and state MENC, The American Music Therapy Association, National and local AOSA chapters, Music Education Associations throughout Australia, National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC), International Society for Music Education (ISME) in Italy as well as Korea and Taiwan Orff. She teaches an annual teacher training course.  Lynn has many publications, CDs and DVDs. Lynn’s instrument DVD kits have received the prestigious Oppenheim award.  Lynn has also won the Dove Award, the iParenting Media award, Kids First award and the recommendation of the National Parenting Association. Her DVD, In All Kinds of Weather, Kids Make Music! was a Parenting Magazine DVD pick of the month.
