Carl Orff

Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of Music for Children based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries.The five basic German volumes of Music for Children by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Edition have since been published in Bolivia Brazil Canada Czechoslovakia Denmark Estonia France Ghana Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition) Greece Italy Japan Korea Latin-America the Netherlands Portugal Spain Sweden Taiwan and the USA.In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students.A few years later Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966) essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers.Inevitably the considerable growth of Orff-Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage.Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has proved itself to be a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Carl Orff's fundamental educational ideas have revitalized music education in nursery schools at all levels of primary and secondary education and in special music schools based on the concepts that: - music dance and language are inter-related and animated through rhythm. - when children discover invent improvise and compose their experience of music is intensified. These creative activities are complementary to those of interpreting and listening to music. - all who take part are encouraged to contribute not only vocally but also instrumentally. - the Orff approach to music education is many sided; it is concerned with practical music-making it
