A SNAPSHOT OF ORFF-SCHULWERK
A SNAPSHOT OF ORFF-SCHULWERK
This term, we are throwing back to our 2023 ASME Summer School Sessions run by Orff Masters, Eboney Yapp and Andy Stewart. Eboney and Andy have been heavily involved in the State and National levels of Orff-Schulwerk for many years and have a very passionate understanding of the value and growth that Orff can provide for both students and music educators.
This past summer, Eboney and Andy ran a session each at the annual ASME Summer School to give participants a thorough understanding of the joy, creativity and hands-on interaction that Orff brings to every classroom. 
The notes to Eboney’s session titled “Guided Listening – An Orff Approach” can be found at this link below.

Asme Summer School 23 ANDY STEWART NOTES

Many thanks to both Eboney and Andy for their ongoing and continuous work for our WAOSA committee. Their drive and inspiration to share their knowledge of Orff-Schulwerk with other music educators in our local and wider networks is absolutely wonderful. 
If you would like to know more, please check out our events page as we are running some incredible PL these holidays including all Levels 1-4 with Robyn Stavely, Carol Richards, Jackie Ewers, Susie Davies-Splitter, Eboney Yapp and Kailee Marshall.
Carol and Robyn will also be running a special Richard Gill “Connections” course for the first time ever, discussing the past, present and future connections of Orff-Schulwerk. Don’t miss out!

Events & Professional Development

 

My son has been taking piano and guitar lessons for more than a year. He loves his teachers and I can tell that they really care about my kid too. Your music school is wonderful and I highly recommend.

Louise Flores / parent

The school has everything that children need for successful study: textbooks, daily assignments, planner, notebooks, music sheets, a staff who are very nice and kind, and ready to help at any time.

Diana Jones / parent

I am most grateful that my son's guitar teacher not only makes learning fun and shares his knowledge, but his passion for music as well. I could not have found a better place for him to learn guitar.

Martin Wood / parent
