The Orff approach to music education weaves together storytelling, songs, movement/dance, and instrumental play in ensemble groups. It is centred on the playful exploration of the elements of music and children are given lots of opportunities to improvise and express their ideas creatively. Children have lots of experiences of successful collaborative music making. Check out what these classes have looked like in 2016 at Muritai School.

NZ School of Music Day at Eastern Hutt
Earlier this term the senior Orff group at Muritai came to Eastern Hutt School to take part in a morning of ensemble playing with performance students from the NZ School of Music. We played some rhythm games and workshopped two pieces as a group, children on the barred instruments and percussion and the NZSM students on double bass, trombone, violin, classical guitar, piano, and voice.
