NEW ORFF PUBLICATIONS!
Schott Music have announced the publication of two new books which are a must for followers of the Orff approach to music education.
'Orff Schulwerk Today - Nurturing Musical Expression and Understanding' by Jane Frazee contains a wealth of information and ideas for teachers of music to students of all ages.
Orff Schulwerk Today is addressed to all music teachers who want to develop clarity of purpose in a child-centred educational environment. The expertise of seven master Orff Schulwerk teachers is included to encourage skill development and understanding. Over one hundred lessons are presented to highlight musical elements and encourage self-expression. A CD of listening examples from a variety of historical periods and cultural contexts enhances the book.
'Quien Canta Su Mal Espanta!' (translated 'Singing Drives Away Sorrow!') by Sofia Lopez-Ibor and Verena Maschat is a song, games and dances book from Latin America.
A selection of songs, games, dances, stories and instrumental pieces from the Spanish-speaking countries of Central and South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela. This book presents a rich and varied selection of material from an immense geographical area, combining local traditions with foreign elements and influences to engage and inspire teachers and students. A DVD with practical demonstrations of the dances will help teachers present these materials in the classroom.
