Music - The Orff Schulwerk Process

The Orff Schulwerk process of teaching is a way to learn music through play, movement, singing, instruments and speech. This process of teaching is the foundation on which the Lower School Music program at Abington friends School is built. We encourage children to improvise and creative through imitation and play beginning in the 3's & 4's classrooms all the way through to 4th grade.

We have already began exploring, playing and creating over the first few weeks of school!

Our ladybug beanbag helps us to warm-up our voices. The higher she flies the higher our voice goes!

When we take a turn, we put our bird in the tree.

Ladybug she creeps along,
Here and there everywhere,
Ladybug she creeps along,
Will she land on me!






Keeping the beat.. even if it is fast or slow, it is always there, like our heart beat!





Mallets!!!



1, 2 buckle my shoe
3, 4 knock at the door
5, 6 pick up sticks
7, 8 lay them straight
9, 10 a big fat hen!

Follow the leader.



X means rest
