How does
We're Orff! work?

The Units
There are three levels and each level has 5 different units. The first level, We're Orff, is suitable for ages 4 to 7. Each unit is it's own entity and develops in its own way, in a step-by-step progression; however all follow the same Orff-Shulwerk Principles.

Each unit will take several weeks to work through. Progress is at a pace that the class is comfortable with.

The activities
Each unit will work through a standard set of activities, in an order appropriate to its text.

The activities will vary but will be drawn from the following:
    Movement, Body percussion, Speech, Singing, lnstruments
Instrument work will utilise both untuned and tuned percussion and involve Rhythm, Melody, Ostinato, Bordun and/or Canon.

Each unit concludes with suggestions for drawing on the exploration and creative work done by the students to create a performance (Putting if Together).
