Mostly Modal

This is a collection of original pieces for Orff ensembles. With sounds that are magical and magnetic to young students, this includes mostly modal, and a couple pentatonic pieces and one hexatonic piece to round out the collection. Teaching tips and Orff process ideas make these melodies very accessible. Most have an element of movement as well, including body percussion or an added dance within the teaching process itself. Several have aligned extensions for improvisation, composition and assessment. All of these pieces are child-friendly, tested and true, and they will charm and motivate your students!
