International OrffUK Summer School 31st July to 4th August 2017

This residential summer school offers opportunities to explore, in depth, creative approaches to teaching and learning in music. It aims to give those who work with children both in and out of school a rich and rewarding programme of workshops which explore a variety of ways of making music. Each day will offer a balance of sessions led by leading experts in the Orff approach and workshops to explore singing, and creative movement.

The Orff workshops are aimed at 2 levels: Level 1 for those who are new to the approach and Level 2 for those who have attended courses before (we ask you to indicate your level when booking). The approach combines speech, movement and music in imaginative ways which enable everyone to take part, learn, and have fun.

The tutors are experienced in working with all abilities (both children and adults); and experts in inspiring teachers!

The programme is designed to give a balance of Orff sessions and other workshops each day. In the evenings there are informal sessions after dinner, each led by one of the tutors.
