Session Name: Square One and Beyond
Keep the main thing the main thing. It is so easy to get off task and distracted from the most important things in our classroom. Let’s get back to the basics of Orff Schulwerk and reinforce those foundational concepts with new lessons, books, songs, and ideas. In this session we’ll explore Music for Children Volume I, the Rhythmische Übung, and reinforce the core concepts of Orff Schulwerk with fun and exciting lesson ideas.
