Carl Orff was a composer and a pioneer in music education. Orff classes expose children to the joys of music through listening, singing, movement and playing instruments. For those children with a Kindermusik background, these classes serve as a bridge to beginning instrumental study. Children without previous musical training will participate actively in music making at a comfortable level. Singing, movement and age-appropriate instruments are all incorporated in the curriculum.
Individual creativity is encouraged in a fun, supportive musical environment.
For students already studying music these classes nurture development of well-rounded musicianship. Ear training, sight singing, notation and rhythmic abilities are developed. The Orff class sequence builds an understanding of music and musical skills which give students a jump-start on future music study.
