This book is intended for those who want detailed, practical assistance in how and why to use Orff techniques and materials in the classroom. Goals are outlined and the best ways to achieve them are explored, but the principal focus is on the arrangement of the curriculum in a logical sequence. Such a structure provides a reasonable progression from simple to more complex objectives not only from day to day but from year to year. Structured learning need not be the enemy of improvisation but rather the best way to provide students with the tools they need to improvise. The book contains an introduction to the development of Orff-Schulwerk and a discussion of the distinguishing features of this approach. Chapter Two introduces the activities children use in their music-making. The teaching procedure that structures those activities is taken up in Chapter Three while Chapter Four explains the vocabulary and accompaniment theory essential to the Orff teacher. Part Two applies these elements in a sequential curriculum designed for Grades One through Five. Especially important in each chapter is the inclusion of supporting activities designed to aid in teaching the various skills and concepts.

This review is from: Discovering Orff: A Curriculum for Music Teachers (Schott) (Paperback)
The book is never boring, because it is always replete with examples in musical notation.
Of the 200-odd pages, the first 50 pages describe the Orff concept. That is the part which I found the most interesting. The remainder of the book summarized what she teaches and how she teaches each of the grades 1 through 5. Some readers might find the second part more interesting.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful introduction to Orff Schulwerk,

This review is from: Discovering Orff: A Curriculum for Music Teachers (Schott) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful introduction to Orff pedagogy for teachers getting started using Orff methods. I have been using this book frequently during my student teaching experience. Ms. Frazee's arrangements are wonderfully musical and very feasible for elementary students.

This review is from: Discovering Orff: A Curriculum for Music Teachers (Schott) (Paperback)
Look, this book is overall pretty solid. The activities described within can directly be used in the classroom or be used as a spring board to create your own lessons. Orff's process will be drilled into your head each chapter and sometimes things get repetitive. Nonetheless, this book should part of any aspiring music teacher's collection.
