Playing with Body Percussion

Register Now!

While many associate the Orff approach with the playing of instruments, there are so many ways for children to be creative musicians. This workshop will highlight a host of ways that teachers can utilize body percussion in their classrooms. This allows teachers with a small budget to incorporate the Orff approach. Additionally, it enables students to make music on their own, meaning the walls of the music room are no barrier to making music.
