Choir performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jzNv2d673w I am a Small Part of the World I am a small part of the world (K-1) I have a small hand which to hold (2-3) But if I stand by your side and you put your hand in mine (4th) Together we can be so strong and bold (5th)
I am a small part of the world I have a small dream in my eyes But if I tell you my dreams and if you add yours to mine Together we can reach up to the skies
Hand in hand, dreams combine Voice with voice, together for all time Hand in hand, dreams combine Voice with voice, for all time.
I am a small part of the world I have a small voice ringing clear, But if I sing out for freedom and you add your voice to mine Together we have nothing left to fear (repeat green part 2x – 2nd time with K-3)
I am a small part of the world Take my hand

The Orff approach builds 21st century learning skills through imitation, exploration, improvisation, and composition. Children use singing, expressive speech, instrument playing, and movement to become creative thinkers, collaborative problem solvers and life-long musicians. Active music making is at the core of this philosophy, and the emphasis on creative movement appeals to kinesthetic learners. Just as we learn language aurally, our students experience and perform music without notation at first. Students learn to read and write nontraditional and standard musical notation as they develop the desire to recreate and remember their own ideas, which reinforces the concepts they absorb through performance. The materials in the curriculum are selected from a rich repertoire of traditional folk songs and rhymes along with music from diverse styles and cultures. Each of the following elements of music are explored throughout their elementary music education: beat/rhythm, pitch/melody, timbre, tempo, dynamics, form, style, and texture.
