AROSA is a non-profit music organization dedicated to the promotion of the Orff-Schulwerk process of teaching and its implementation in the greater Sacramento area. Orff-Schulwerk (school work) is a music and movement educational philosophy developed by the German composer Carl Orff and his colleague Gunild Keetman. It is concerned with the total growth of the child. Creativity and improvisation are an important part of the process, as is the exploration and development of various related areas: movement and dance, poetry and speech, drama and song, and the use of Orff instruments, recorder and various percussion instruments. Being a chapter of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association, we support the mission and dedication to this creative teaching approach. We believe that learning about music — learning to sing and play, to hear and understand, to move and create — should be a joyful experience. We support this mission by providing professional development to our members in the form of music and movement workshops. *New Spring 2008 Newsletter Here. |
