Discovering Orff
Jane Frazee with Kent Kreuter
Item #:
SMC 99
Price:
$39.95
This book is intended for those who want detailed, practical assistance in how
and
why to use Orff techniques and materials in the classroom. Goals are outlined
and
the best ways to achieve them are explored, but the principal focus is on the
arrangement of the curriculum in a logical sequence. Such a structure provides
a
reasonable progression from simple to more complex objectives not only from
day
to day but from year to year. Structured learning need not be the enemy of
improvisation but rather the best way to provide students with the tools they
need
to improvise.
The book contains an introduction to the development of Orff-Schulwerk and a
discussion of the distinguishing features of this approach. Chapter Two
introduces
the activities children use in their music-making. The teaching procedure that
structures those activities is taken up in Chapter Three while Chapter Four
explains
the vocabulary and accompaniment theory essential to the Orff teacher. Part
Two
applies these elements in a sequential curriculum designed for Grades One
through Five.
Especially important in each chapter is the inclusion of supporting activities
designed to aid in teaching the various skills and concepts.Book, 224
