ORFF SCHULWERK The Orff Schulwerk program is a model of innovation for Orff Schulwerk certification courses offered in the United States. The University of St. Thomas curriculum features education in subjects required by the American Orff Schulwerk Association: technique and improvisation, analysis and arranging, pedagogy, movement and recorder – all of which are highlighted in individual classes and integrated through literature study. A distinctive feature of the St. Thomas program is the opportunity for students to engage in practical application of ensemble work in a daily pedagogy hour at each level of study.
