A practical guide for elementary
and middle school teachers
Together in Harmony
Combining Orff Schulwerk and Music Learning Theory
Diane M. Lange
General music educators are always striving
New!
for ways to improve instruction and become
better teachers. By combining the learn-by-doing
approach of Orff Schulwerk with the sequencing of
musical skills in Edwin E. Gordon’s Music Learning
Theory, Diane M. Lange truly shows that these two
visionary methods work Together in Harmony.
In the first three chapters, Lange covers the basics
of Orff Schulwerk, Music Learning Theory, and how
they can be coordinated for maximum learning. Chapter
4, the hands-on portion of the book, includes songs
and activities that put these ideas into practice. Each
activity includes information
about suggested grade level,
objectives, and instructions
for harnessing both Orff
Schulwerk and Music
Learning Theory.
When the ideas of Orff
Schulwerk and Music
Learning Theory are combined,
each class becomes a
musical adventure. These
two approaches efficiently
achieve the main goal of
every music educator: to
develop independent musicians who can intelligently communicate their musical
ideas.
Diane M. Lange is Assistant Professor and Division Coordinator of Music Education
at the University of Texas at Arlington.
