Orff Explorations: Classroom Projects in Music, Movement and Poetry

This book is the sequel to Alice Brass's popular Orff Day by Day. It follows the same practical and detailed approach, and answers such questions as: How can I work with word rhythms? How could I ever teach a dance? How do I put together a piece with many parts? How can I use poetry with Orff music? How can I turn classroom work into a performance? How can I combine visual arts with Orff music? The book outlines ten projects that take the teacher class by class through a process that will teach the basic skills and combine them with the children's creativity. It will be valuable to teachers interested in integrating the arts and literacy with music.
