Our internationally recognized music program is based on the philosophy and practice of Orff Schulwerk, a dynamic approach to music education developed by the composer Carl Orff and his colleague, Gunild Keetman.

This approach begins from the premise that every child is innately musical and naturally loves to play, sing and dance. Children not only learn hundreds of songs, many set dances and instrumental pieces from all over the world on Orff instruments, but they also add their own ideas to each experience through improvisation, composition and choreography.

Activities call forth children’s intellect, imagination, senses, emotions, social and physical skills in ways that contribute significantly to their total educational experience.
