What a summer! Orff Levels Courses in the Bay Area are back in person!

By James Harding and Julia Chanin, Playnotes Editors

Orff Levels-Training Courses are the official path to mastery for Orff Schulwerk teachers in the United States, the best foundation in the scope and sequence of elemental music and movement study. While day-long workshops delight and inspire us, Levels Courses provide structure and reveal the pedagogical principles behind the magic, empowering us to design our own materials, lessons and curricula based in the Orff approach. If you love Orff workshops and haven’t taken a Levels Course yet, you are in for a wonderful treat that will change the way you teach!

While many AOSA Levels Courses across the country didn’t run this summer because of low numbers, or ran into CoVid challenges and cancellations, the Bay Area was fortunate to successfully produce not one but THREE exciting Levels Courses. Read about the experience of participants in each in the blog posts below AND SIGN YOURSELF UP FOR A LEVELS COURSE FOR NEXT SUMMER!
