Description

This resource by Rainer Kotzian and Polo Vallejo contains teaching suggestions and extension activities for 15 musical pieces from the classic Orff-Schulwerk volumes 1-5. Lessons feature clear full-color text, audio examples, PDFs for printing and projecting, and video sequences demonstrating individual parts. 

The free Play Orff app (for iOS or Android) supplements the book with opportunities for students to create arrangements and compose in digital form. One song is free with the app, and the code found inside this book allows access to the remaining songs.

This book was created on the initiative of the Carl Orff Foundation, Diessen am Ammersee, Germany.
