The main determinant when applying Orff-Schulwerk is not the student’s level of education, but, more so, the teacher’s pedagogic talent and skill. Orff-Schulwerk builds on a child’s natural talent rather than on accumulated knowledge, it utilizes “Children’s Lore,” meaning traditional songs, movement games, stories, and dances from their own regions. Based on this, they can use the musical, linguistic, and movement material and turn them into their own presentations in both traditional and creative ways. Schulwerk, by definition, is inclusive.

Movement and dance - rarely mentioned in written words about the Orff Schulwerk - nonetheless play a crucial role in elemental music and dance education. How can we integrate and connect it to elemental music education? With individual exercises and group activities we will find bridges between music, dance and speech to understand basic principles of the Orff Schulwerk.
