Chapter Courses

Elementary Music Teaching and Learning:
Introduction to Orff Schulwerk

Spring 2023: EDEL 595, a 3 credit University of Alberta graduate course taught in Calgary
Instructors: Sue Harvie and Heather Nail


This course is an extensive hands-on examination and experience of the teaching and learning processes of Orff Schulwerk. This course is designed for music educators looking to inform their practice and classroom teachers who are looking to interact more musically with their students. As an introduction to Orff Schulwerk, participants will explore Orff terminology and basic music theory whilst experiencing the creative ways of working with music, movement and the whole child. Participants will critically engage with the Orff Schulwerk philosophy and pedagogy and gain facility in it’s sequential, four-stage learning process: imitation, exploration, improvisation, and literacy. In addition to building a repertoire of age and grade level appropriate songs, singing games, and activities, participants will discover ways to instill creativity in their practice through the integration of speech, song, movement, and instruments.
