Whether you are an Orff teacher looking to augment your teaching with quality extensions or you are a First Steps in Music teacher wishing to connect to the best of Orff, this book is written for you! Written by a team of five master elementary general music teachers - Joani Brandon, Betsy Green, Rachel Grimsby, Cragi Knapp, and Chris Tranberg - this comprehensive book is full of strategies and activities that link the Orff Schulwerk approach and the successful First Steps in Music methodology to help students to sing, say, dance, and play as a means of becoming tuneful, beatful, and artful. Materials include classroom-ready activities relating to each of the eight parts of the First Steps in Music approach: pitch exploration and vocal warm-up, fragment singing, simple songs, arioso, song tales, movement exploration and warm-up, movement for form and expression, and movement with beat motions. This book also includes a set of twelve complete lesson plans, supplemental repertoire, and a significantly expanded section on arioso.
