What is Orff Schulwerk?
Carl Orff, a German composer and musicologist, and Gunild Keetman created a music education philosophy and approach while working with students at the Gunterschule. This was a movement-based curriculum where children used elemental media.
The Elemental Style utilizes movement, speech, singing, pitched and unpitched instruments, body percussion, and improvisation. Elemental Music is based on cultural materials that use speech, movement, and improvisation. It has a limited harmonic vocabulary and relies on rhythm, simple forms, ostinati, complimentary rhythms, patterns, and the “process” of teaching.”
