Book description
This book aims to display the influence of the Orff approach not only in the traditional Orff classroom (if such exists), but also in contexts where the teaching is more general and the resources more eclectic. All the authors delve into the philosophical underpinning of the Schulwerk, some describing it by method and some by example. The book is testimony to the remarkable adaptability of the Schulwerk's teaching not only to the musics of the world, but also to a variety of musics from other European styles and periods. As the move from a content-specific curriculum to a process-specific curriculum becomes more widespread, so also is there a move to include music of the whole world as a stimulation for new independent growth, and a recognition that an approach such as the Schulwerk, which allows for non-Eurocentric music education, has a strategic place.
