Carl Orff's philosophy and the 21st Century Child

  The Orff Method is a way of teaching children about music through a mixture of singing, dancing, acting, and the use of percussion instruments. For this method, a child's natural sense of play is encouraged which is great for young students because they are always full of energy. I think that the Orff Method is perfect for children of the 21st century because playing outside and being active is huge. It gets harder and harder for children to sit through class all day and this is a great way to get students up and moving to not only release some built up energy but to learn while doing it!
