The authors of Orff-Schulwerk and their closest cooperators describe the basics of what has become unquestionable common knowledge of Elemental Music and Dance Pedagogy. Written in German and English, the selected texts present a necessary theoretical completion of the experiences of practical work. They give a foundation and justification of it.
 
These study texts are intended for all those attending introductory and further development Orff-Schulwerk courses, or who are wishing to explore and learn about it within the framework of a Music and/or Dance Education training, whether it be about its origins or the way it has evolved through time. It is hoped they will inspire further individual thought and teaching.
