INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS FOR THE CLASSROOM (EDUX8532)
July 9-13, 2012
This course creates an exciting collaboration between new and experienced music, dance and classroom teachers. It provides a foundation in the Orff Schulwerk and offers new insights into bringing music and dance into the daily life of children.
Participants will:
- Experience the Orff approach through the shared elements of music, dance and language.
- Rediscover the connection between musicians and dancers,
- Create new ways of integrating music and dance into the science, math, ESL, and language curriculum.
Research will provide a theoretical foundation, while model lessons and videos of children's classes will give practical applications. The course will be of equal value to those seeking an introduction to Orff Schulwerk and those looking to enlarge their understanding of Carl Orff's visionary idea: "The place where it (the Schulwerk) can be most effective and where its connections with other subjects can be explored, developed and fully exploited...is the school."
Suggested Materials
Children’s poetry or nursery rhyme book; journal.
For this year only, the Intro. Course will be at a separate location from the Levels due to construction at The San Francisco School. We are pleased to announce that Mills College will host the course, making it easily accessible for commuters in the Bay Area. Note also the earlier date than usual.
At present, no housing is available on campus. To apply, go to: Registration.
