Orff is a way to teach and learn music. It is designed for all children, and includes a unique mix of singing, body percussion, dancing, playing instruments, and improvisation. I am so very excited for this upcoming school year to have the opportunity to implement the ideas and approaches I have been learning about. Students: get ready for some amazing music classes this year. Parents: be prepared to watch your children develop into more creative and thoughtful musicians.
Also, have you been practicing your recorder? Visit the recorder page NOW and enjoy some summer music making.
Other ideas for including music in your summer break:
- listen to the radio (or CDs, or Pandora, etc.)
- sing songs you remember from music class
- play your recorder alone or with a friend- try making up your own song!
- dance to any music you hear
- instead of talking to a friend, try singing back and forth to each other
- attend a concert (lots of outdoor concerts can be fun in the summer!)
- make an instrument at home- try cardboard boxes, aluminum cans, or experiment with pots and pans in the kitchen!
Happy practicing!
