Carl Orff

Carl Orff taught students in nontraditional ways using music.  He believed that music was a natural behavior of children, and that children are naturally musical.  He liked to use chants, songs, and instrumental pieces.  Improvisation and creativity  is the key stage to the Orff process.

I think that the Orff approach is perfect for the 21st century because it is a way to reach all of the students.  It is something that all the students can be engaged in as a group to help them explore their creative natures, builds self-esteem, and helps provide positive music experiences.
