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.

Effortless Play: Using the Schulwerk to Enhance Creativity
There’s always a place for creation – a folk dance with a twist, a chance to explore the xylophone, or an opportunity to see what your body can do with one word – but pulling these ideas from our students can be challenging. Let’s go back to the Schulwerk roots of playfulness, discovery, and wonder as we explore these ideas and more through student-led choices, improvisation, risk-taking, and more. We’ll unearth the unexpected, so join us on the journey!
