Orffing and Socializing

Today was the day for Claremont music teachers to get inspired for the new year! I am a member of the American Orff Schulwerk Society where I have borrowing privileges for the video library. I thought that if I borrowed three videos, I should share them with friends, so this is what we did. Jody offered her house, we brought salads to share and watched some truly inspirational teaching. We will definitely have to do this again sometime!

Orff Workshop



This is what I consider a fun Saturday morning - going to an Orff workshop and playing. People may not understand why this is fun, but it is for me! In this short video clip, we are all exploring various levels in space (high, medium and low), pretending to be trees with our leaves gently falling to the ground. Now I know what to do with that package of leaves I bought last month at the Target Dollar Spot!

Of course, we did all kinds of other stuff - lots of movement, integration of stories and music, playing instruments.
