We will explore this sequence by using and combining the Orff Schulwerk media: speech, singing, moving, body percussion, and instrument playing. We will take a tour of Keetman's Elementaria and experience "real world" applications to using the various sections found within this primary source material. If you have access to a copy of Keetman's Elementaria, please bring it along with your soprano recorder.
