"Musical instruction for a child does not begin in the music lesson.  Playtime is the starting point.  One should not come to music - it should arise of itself.  What is important is that the child be allowed to play, undisturbed, expressing the internal externally.  Word and sound must arise simultaneously from improvisatory, rhythmic play."  

Carl Orff: Thoughts about Music with Children and Non-Professionals (1931/1932)
Printed in Elemental Dance - Elemental Music: The Munich Günther School 1924-1944, ed. Michael Kugler
