First Steps in Music

Orff Schulwerk workshops aim to develop music learning abilities of children through educational courses that are based on two key factors: the search of elementary factors and practical methodology.

“Elementary Music is never only music, it is linked to movement, dance and word, is a music that we can invent, in which we are involved not only as listeners but also as co-executors. Elementary Music is earthy, innate, bodily, is music anyone can experiment and learn, appropriate to the child “Carl Orff

The music is a complex language that, in order to be best absorbed, need to be experienced. Just as we learn to speak, we learn to play: we listen, we imitate, we understand, we communicate. The music must be experienced: must be danced, sung, played, before it is studied.
