Participants will critically engage with the Orff Schulwerk philosophy and pedagogy and gain facility in its sequential, four-stage learning/teaching process: imitation, exploration, improvisation, and literacy. In addition to building a repertoire of age and grade level appropriate songs, singing games, and activities, participants will extend their musicianship and gain facility in elemental orchestration techniques. Students will also explore pathways to inspire creativity through the integration of speech, song, movement, and instruments.
Prerequisite(s): MUS 121.2 or permission from the School for the Arts Music.
