Carl Orff


Carl Orff
                Carl Orff had a wonderful philosophy about teaching music to kids, his motto, "Tell me, I forget…show me, I remember…Involve me, I understand" is his belief in a nutshell.  The Orff approach allows students to be creative and retain information.  Students are learning to read songs as they follow along, they’re also learning rhythm and best of all they’re learning by doing.  Orff combines singing, dancing, acting, and the use of instruments which is great because it can involve everyone in the entire classroom.  This philosophy is perfect for the 21st century because it keeps the students engaged and focused, it’s not only fun but it also supports active learning.
