ABOUT
TAOC
Tallahassee Area Orff Chapter was chartered
in 1984 following three years of excellent levels instruction
by Isabel Carley, Beth Miller, and Donna Poppe at Florida State
University. These classes were very process-oriented, very high
quality and challenging. The chapter members wish to keep these
qualities alive in our classrooms.
We believe that:
- Music is a living force vital to the
education of every child.
- The opportunity to create speech, movement
and music in an ordered framework should be made available to
all children
- It is important to develop trained
teachers.
It is important to inform parents and
communities about this educational philosophy.
Orff-Schulwerk
is a way to teach and learn music. It is based on things children
like to do: sing, chant rhymes, clap, dance,
and keep a beat on anything near at hand. These instincts are
directed into learning music by first hearing and making music,
then later reading and writing it. This is the same way we all
learned our native languages.
Orff-Schulwerk uses poems, rhymes, games,
songs and dances as examples and basic materials. These may be
traditional or original. Spoken or sung, they may be accompanied
by clapping and stamping or by drums, sticks and bells. Special
Orff melody instruments include wooden xylophones and metal glockenspiels
that offer good sound immediately. Played together as a small
orchestra, their use helps child become sensitive listeners and
considerate participants.

ABOUT
AOSA
AOSA, the
American Orff-Schulwerk Association, is headquartered in Cincinnati,
Ohio. It is a professional organization of music and movement
educators dedicated to the creative teaching approach developed
by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman. We are joined by our belief
that learning about music - learning to sing and play, to hear
and understand, to move and create - should be an active and
joyful experience.
Its mission is to:
- To demonstrate the value of Orff Schulwerk
and promote its widespread use.
- To support the professional development
of our members.
- To provide a forum for the continued
growth and development of Orff Schulwerk that reflects the diversity
in contemporary American society.
