WHAT YOU WILL GAIN FROM ATTENDING THE ORFF WORKSHOP

• LEARN to use and understand the Orff Schul-werk approach. Discover Orff as a process of experiencing exploration, imitation, improvisation, and creation, through movement, speech and music. You don't need a classroom full of Orff instruments to be an Orff-inspired teacher.

• EXPERIENCE new activities and ideas to use with your own elementary and/or middle school students.

• SHARE ideas that work in the classroom with other experienced teachers and with trained Orff instructors.

• UPDATE your knowledge of current music education issues with special topics related to classroom teaching.

• ACQUIRE new materials and equipment that will be available through West Music, Coralville, Iowa.

• EARN three credits (graduate or undergraduate) and Orff certification at Level I and II.

Bridgewater State University will offer a two-week Orff Schulwerk Institute for three undergraduate or three graduate credits. The coursework follows guidelines established by AOSA (American Orff Schulwerk Association) for Level I certification. For questions about the institute, please call Dr. Sarah H. McQuarrie at (508) 531-6159.
