how, but not why, May 28 2005

This review is from: Elementaria: First Acquainting with Orff-Schulwerk (Paperback)
I am tempted to give this book a 6, since it is considered the bible of the Orff-Schulwerk approach. Sure enough, it gives complete instructions on how to set up an instrumental ensemble, how to play the instruments, and how to teach the gross motor activity. In fact, it presents some ideas which I put to immediate use in my work as a preschool English teacher in Korea.But theory is important as well as method. Why should certain activities be taught? Why should the instruments be played a certain way? Why is the Orff approach better than the others? Why are certain musical activities and gross motor activities beneficial? If these questions were answered, I would give this book a 6.
