Orff Teacher Education Courses

Teacher Education Courses, known as levels courses, provide the depth of understanding of Orff Schulwerk that daylong workshops just begin. A comprehensive three-level curriculum comprised of pedagogy, recorder, and movement is designed to develop the musicianship, creativity, and teaching strategies of the adult learner. Completing the courses and gaining certification will give the teacher clarity and continuity to implement Orff Schulwerk into the 21st Century classroom.

The courses are offered across the country at different times during the summer. They are usually 60 credit hours in length and take two weeks to complete. Each level has different requirements and the course work is very rewarding. Consult AOSA's Website for more information.
