Course Description: The Orff Schulwerk Teacher Certification courses immerse participants in the Orff approach to teaching music. Carl Orff devised this approach to develop musical qualities inherent in all people through an active and creative learning process. It applies to all areas of music education, including early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary, studio, therapy, or special education. Participants in the certification courses experience first-hand this way of learning and teaching, using the skills and techniques specific to the Orff approach.

Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 will include studies in Movement and Dance, Orchestration and Analysis, Technique and Improvisation, Recorder, Vocal Studies, and Pedagogy. Level 1 participants require a descant recorder, Level 2 participants require a treble recorder, and Level 3 and 4 participants require any melodic instrument that they can play PLUS any or all of the recorder family (descant, treble, tenor, and bass). Basic knowledge of music notation is required for this course. If necessary (due to health restrictions) on-site sessions may need to be live-streamed at the venue with a facilitator in the room.

Certification is attained through successfully completing all assessment tasks during the course and attending the required 36 face-to-face hours. It is a requirement that each Level is successfully completed before moving to the next Level.

Fees Include:

• 36 hours of active embodied learning
• ANCOS nationally accredited courses
• Comprehensive course notes
• Professional Development Certificate
• Morning teas every day (we suggest you bring your own lunch each day as the shops are not within walking distance)
• Maps of the area, and site, will be sent once payment is received, approximately one week before the course
