Orff Schulwerk is a music education approach developed by German composer Carl Orff in the 1920s. It emphasizes active participation through singing, dancing, and playing instruments, particularly percussion. The method encourages creativity and improvisation, allowing children to explore music in a natural and engaging way. The curriculum is designed for children of all ages and integrates movement, speech, and drama alongside music. Orff instruments, such as xylophones and glockenspiels, are commonly used to facilitate hands-on learning. This holistic approach fosters a love for music while developing essential skills like rhythm, coordination, and teamwork.
