Carl Orff for the 21st Century Child

Carl Orff's philosophies seem perfect for the 21st century child because it gets the students engaged in what they're doing. The child is either singing, dancing, playing creatively; the students are engaged and learning at the same time. The students get to be creative- making up there own rhythms or adding dance to music.  Kids love to explore and they get to when they are able to be creative with instruments. They are improvising and having fun doing it. Teachers are needing more to engage students these days and Orff's philosophies get the student active and enjoying- therefore learning.
