The New England Chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association (NEAOSA) serves the Greater Boston and New England Area. The Chapter offers full-time college students, classroom teachers, music teachers and administrators six workshops each year for a modest fee, and full-time students are free. Through these workshops individuals learn and grow as educators and future educators and have the opportunity to connect with each other. Each year, NEAOSA also offers $500 scholarships to members who wish to attend the AOSA National Conference and for those who wish to take Orff Music Teacher Training Levels courses. The number of scholarships offered varies each season. The information to apply for these scholarships can be found by clicking on the word "scholarships" in the menu above.

If you have never been to a workshop and have a colleague that is a member of the Chapter, ask if you can accompany him or her the next time he or she attends. As a first-time attendee, your member colleague can sponsor you through our guest pass program, which allows you to participate in the workshop free of charge. Likewise, if you are already a member and you have a colleague who has never participated in one of the Chapter's workshops, take him or her. Members can sponsor a first-time attendee once each year, and first-time attendees can only be sponsored once. The link for the guest pass form is below. The form is also available on-site. After attending your first workshop, if you are interested in participating in more workshops or becoming a member, scroll up to the top of this web page to see the list of 2017-2018 membership offerings.

The American Orff-Schulwerk association strongly encourages members to be positive and discreet when discussing our organization, specific courses and/or teachers, and the Orff movement. The very nature of the Orff Schulwerk philosophy embodies a broad spectrum of expressions exploring different paths to arrive at artistic and educational goals. Members are encouraged to recognize and remain open to varied approaches and to celebrate both our differences and our similarities.
