This is a wonderful guide to involving soprano recorder in Orff classes.  The book explores ways that beginners on the recorder can easily become involved in the Orff ensemble from the first day.

Five routes, with 13 destinations are explored:
*Echoing
*Isolating measures & melodic fragments
*Using body percussion
*Conducting pitches
*Using visuals

There are 42 activities (extended projects) in the 6 units.  Each activity begins with a concise exercise on a new recorder skill.  Then, the new skill is used in an Orff routine.  Most activities conclude with a complete arrangement. There are also helpful hints included.

Recorder Routes II: Extending Recorder Skills in Orff Classes : Pieces and Processes

Taming the Anthill is a collection of games, contests, discipline techniques (oops - classroom management skills), and practical suggestions for introducing fundamental skills of singing, listening, music reading, composing and keyboard. Oh yes, there are a few alka-helpers thrown in to help preserve your mental heath. Some of the ideas in this book were developed from seeds planted by teachers older and wiser than I. Other strategies have evolved in my classroom through trial and error, tears and love. You may possess the newest piano in your district or the state's finest stereo system, but until you create an environment in which the kids become your allies in the battle of musical wills, no plan of instruction can truly flourish. You've got to tame the anthill.
