Music Education Orff Ensemble

ME-355

Students learn a series of pieces to be played on Orff instruments. Pieces are organized around arrangements of authentic folk music, pieces from the Orff/Keetman publications, and student compositions. Improvisation is included in most pieces. Students develop polyphonic awareness (singing a song while playing an instrument). Students also develop the basic technical skills for pitched percussion.
