Orff Schulwerk & Kodály: Stronger Together
Music teachers often feel they need to choose between the Kodaly and Orff Schulwerk philosophies of music education, but both approaches center on helping children discover music and creativity in a natural way. Why choose when you can do both? Come sing, say, dance, and play- see how incorporating techniques from both Orff Schulwerk and Kodaly inspired teaching can strengthen the teaching already happening in your classroom. Participants will learn a variety of repertoire ranging from folk music to source material from the Orff Schulwerk volumes and will explore how the two pedagogies can intertwine to support students in their music making and musical learning.
