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.

First Steps in Music: with Orff Schulwerk

This updated product contains a teacher manual, student book, and posters. End the frustration - both yours and your students' - with this recorder method that starts with and uses what your students already know: solfege and rhythm syllables. Focusing on the introduction of the fingering instead of the note name helps students understand by using a known concept instead of the idea of note names, which can be very abstract for some students. As solfege and rhythmic concepts are introduced, students use the recorders to apply those concepts by practicing those elements through songs. Other musical elements such as repeats, anacrusis, ties, rounds, and time signature changes have also been included; however, many of these do not happen until later when the children are more comfortable with the mechanics. In addition to using relatable concepts, this system also relies on widely known folk songs. This helps those kids who just need to hear it to play it as a beginner. Since the students have already sung the songs in class, practice at home is easier as students already know how the song is supposed to sound.
