Instructor Janet Greene teaches Orff Music and Movement Classes at Wischemann Hall.   The Orff Schulwerk: A joyful approach to music and dance education. Musical stories, rhymes, songs, creative movement, multi-cultural folk dances and imaginative play lead children into the world of music and dance. All students play in an orchestra of magical-sounding Orff xylophones and glockenspiels.  Older students play recorders and keyboard,  read and compose their own music and dances. The Orff approach provides a strong instrumental, vocal and rhythmic foundation.  In an atmosphere of play and and discovery, children explore their own unique talents  and create a caring musical community.
