Essential Job Functions
The Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University offers all levels of Orff-Schulwerk teacher education courses in sequential summers. Each Levels course involves 10 days of study spread over two weeks. The daily schedule includes time in Orff-Schulwerk pedagogy, movement, recorder, and special topics. While the materials presented are intended for use with children, one of the goals for each course is to improve our own musicianship. Expanding our abilities, experimenting with new ideas, and exposing ourselves to new challenges not only makes us better musicians but also allows us to view learning from our students’ perspective.
Orff-Schulwerk is a unique approach to music education that includes multiple areas of musical expression. Based on the teachings of Carl Orff, this child-centered approach incorporates speech, movement, song, and instrument playing in a creative atmosphere where students are actively engaged in the music making process. The concepts of music (rhythm, melody, form, expression, harmony, and timbre) are explored through the musical skills of singing, moving, playing instruments, listening, creating, and speaking. Throughout this process, children learn actively via imitation and exploration leading to improvisation and music literacy. The instructional goals of the Orff-Schulwerk teacher are the same as the “traditional” teacher – the development of musical skills and understandings. The difference lies in the means by which these goals are achieved.
