Sifting Through the Schulwerk This workshop will explore the various primary resources within Orff Schulwerk. Though seemingly unapproachable to some at first glance, there is an incredible wealth of opportunity contained in these resources. Through a series of process-based activities, participants will further discover the potential contained in using Orff and Keetman's primary resources. The workshop will explore applications for pre-primary through middle school classrooms, with a special focus on finding opportunities for the inclusion of each activity in your grade level curricula. |
