Orff Schulwerk

Introduction The Orff Schulwerk (“Schulwerk” being the German translation for “school work”) approach to music education is one of the most commonly used methods of teaching music in the twenty-first century. This interactive method of music education is most commonly used for elementary students, but can be applied to teach secondary students as well. Developed by composers Carl Orff (1895-1982) and Gunild Keetman (1904-1990), the Orff Schulwerk method focuses on teaching students by using “elemental

compare orff shulwerk, kodaly method, Suzuki, and eurythmics. All of these have different ways of teaching, and we will analyze these different methods piece by piece. Orff Shulwerk was made by a man named Carl Orff. He met a woman named Dorthey Guntar in a theater in Munich, Germany.

The program Carl and dorthey made is called Ordd Shulwerk or more commonly called “The Orff Approach

The Kodaly and Orff methods of music education have stood the test of time, popular for effectively engaging and teaching children crucial skills. While both share similarities in their approach – particularly the belief that all children should receive music education – the Kodaly method is better suited for teaching students in Victorian government primary schools, most of which are not resourced with musical instruments and specialist music teachers.

Abruptly woken up by my mother’s loud knocks on the door, I stood up erect and began my systematic morning routine. Today was different

Carmina Burana. Carl Orff composed this piece of music in 1936. A German, he was one of few composers that continued work during the Anti-Semitic rule of the country. Orff based his work off of a collection of poems found at the monastery of Benedikbeuren that dates back to the Twelfth Century!

How about those times when you feel alone and you listen to music, and then it seems as if the artist is reaching out to you? Believe it or not, this is musical therapy at work. Musical therapy is not just playing an instrument or dancing to the beat of your favorite song. Music therapy can consist of listening to your favorite song on repeat or listening to uplifting music. • Today, I am going

with little worry, however one course had a reputation for its difficulty. This class was General Music Pedagogy and 21st Century Technology. The professor, Dr. David Gonzol was passionate about Kodaly and Orff-Schulwerk method, and this reflected in the course. We had play parties, played on Orff instruments, taught mock lessons and compiled a collection of folk songs for use in presenting rhythmic and melodic elements. Through hard work and determination, I passed with an A. For the elementary placement
