Je Kodaly-Orff; ‘from 3-Vayears SJ

“Kodaly-Orff combines the approaches to music, that were developed by two European composers, Carl

_ Orff and Zoltan Kedaly. This method encourages group music making through singing, playing . instruments and moving to music. The nat rhythms of children’s rhymes and chants are used.

_ Through the use of creative games, songs and . Movement activities, the children develop skills such ‘as singing in ‘tune, | mi _ learning melodic ~

‘intervals and ‘rhythm | patterns, reading music, taking music dictation,’

- recognizing musical

‘forms, and playing instruments.

From Pre-School: - through Grade 2, instrumental -ensemble work is.-: performed on non- | pitched percussion —. : (eg. Xylophone and glockenspiel). Recorder i is - incorporated in Grade 2.

do Strings for Noung Children a from 4 years « o up.

Strings for Young Children is a method which teaches the violin to children from age four. Beginners start

_in a small master

class and then move

on to an individual

lesson in addition to

the group lesson.

String teaching

techniques are

borrowed from the

Suzuki Method.

Some Kodaly-Orff

activities are also incorporated i into the § group classes.

While actual reading is not taught. in the beginning stages, we do provide pre-reading activities in the group classes. With young children we rely on Suzuki's: “Mother tongue” concept of. learning. A'strong = “emphasis is placed on listening and imitation with a. parent acting asa “home teacher” a oe

Note

Parents of children embarking o on the Strings Program. _ should be aware that a'commitment from both parent and child is necessary, including provision for daily’ practice in the home." ”

An interview with the teacher is required before

registration can be accepted. Please ‘phone Pat’ Walchuck, 874-2262.
