This course covers the basic philosophy and  pedagogical principals of Orff Schulwerk (school work).  The German composer, Carl Orff, along with his colleague Gunild Keetman, developed an approach to music and dance education based on the central idea that music, movement and speech form an inseparable unit.  Basic pedagogical principals include imitation, exploration and improvisation.  Skills are developed through speech, singing, body percussion, movement, arranging, and playing instruments.  Course content will include pedagogy, movement, Orff instruments, recorder, hand drumming, and drama, as well as integration across the curriculum.
