    I Can See the Moon

    Carl Orff is a german composer who had a unique style of composition that was

    rooted in speech and movement while performing music. He relied on improvisations

    and for students to fill the open endedness of the music with their own creative ideas.

    Orff’s theories and techniques are widely used through the US, Canada, and many

    other parts of the world today.

    The approaches that Orff uses not only include what I’ve mentioned but also

    consist of imitating, problem solving, expressing and personal experimentation. These

    can lead to not only an investment as a lifelong musician but incorporate important life

    skills that are hidden deeper in the confines of the music and lessons.

    Some Practical Uses for Orff are in beginning instrumental arrangements often seen in

    elementary schools. You can see in both videos students are playing a specific set of instruments

    often referred to as Orff instruments. Each instrument has a specific function within these

    arrangements and they have room for improvisation and discovery. Students can begin many paths

    from these instruments leading to other instruments in the future if they choose to continue onto

    them. Along with these instruments have came thousands of pre-arranged tunes that have games

    and concepts already built into the lesson.

    Advantages of using Orff in your classroom is it can become very routine and students have a

    chance to work on instruments for a long period of time as well as compose and act through it.

    Disadvantages is that when something becomes routine some students might find it hard to stay

    engaged, as well as that the instruments cost a fortune and young kids can be rough sometimes

    when it comes to taking care of instruments if there isn't a strong enough emphasis placed on taking

    care of them
