Central Florida Orff Chapter Presents

Level I This course includes the basic study of Orff techniques such as the pentatonic scale, simple borduns, the ostinato, and playing pitched and unpitched percussion instruments and the soprano recorder. Topics and skills in this highly participatory course will also include vocal and rhythmic training, movement, and improvisation. A degree in music or strong musicianship is required.

Level II This course builds on the foundation laid in Level I. Folk melodies, all diatonic modes, mixed meter, and rhythms from many parts of the world are included. Accompaniments, musical forms, and improvisations are more complex. Both alto and soprano recorders are studied. Music, movement, and speech are synthesized in cooperative learning lessons. Successful completion of Level I is required.

Level III Level III will explore polymeters and functional harmony to include I-V, I-IV, and I-IV-V accompaniment settings. Forms will include theme and variations, chaconne & passacaglia, deco-ration of the third, and ground bass. In pedagogy, students will apply the Orff process to conceptual teaching. All recorder voicings will be expored in a variety of combinations. Successful completion of Level II is required.

The Recorder is an invaluable teaching aid in the implementation of Orff Schulwerk learning experiences. Participants will become competent in playing recorders by ear, from notation, and in improvisation. Level I will focus on soprano recorder and Level II will include alto recorder. Level III will include the full complement of recorders.

Movement and dance will also be presented through daily classes. Through guided experiences, students will become more aware of the potential of movement as an expressive medium and dance as an art form. The core of the movement classes will be developmental and creative.
