Why consider Levels Courses?
If you have found Orff Schulwerk workshops stimulating and want to gain greater insight into the practical application of Orff principles in teaching, you will welcome this opportunity to immerse yourself in Orff processes with the guidance of experienced Orff teachers.
Whilst both challenging and great fun, this sequential course is guaranteed to deepen your understanding of the Orff approach and to provide you with the tools to implement these ideas creatively in your own educational setting.
“Discovering and working through the Orff levels courses has allowed me to realise that I can develop creatively myself while also learning to facilitate meaningful and connecting moments for those I work with in the classroom and beyond. It is a playful, joyful yet holistic approach to music education that effortlessly links to curriculum requirements. Levels courses have truely shaped who I am as a creative but also a music and creative educator in schools…. plus it’s just a whole lot of fun!”
