Join The Northern New Jersey Orff Schulwerk Association

on  April 10, 2010
for an extended workshop with

Doug Goodkin - Improvisation In Many Styles





Improvisation is at the core of the Orff approach. This workshop will explore a wide range of media in which children can improvise-speech, song, body percussion, movement, dance, drama, percussion instruments, recorder and Orff instruments-and a wide variety of musical styles-classic Orff elemental orchestrations, Medieval and Renaissance music, calypso, Ghanaian xylophone, jazz and more. Following the idea that "nothing requires more meticulous preparation than an exercise in improvisation" (Wilhelm Keller), each activity will focus on the details that evoke comfort and create clarity in improvisation. Material will cover ages from 3-14.


Doug Goodkin is an internationally recognized teacher of Orff Schulwerk, having taught courses in over 35 countries worldwide. He is in his 35th year of teaching children between three years old and eighth grade at The San Francisco School. He also teaches regularly at The Orff Institut in Salzburg, directs The San Francisco Orff Certification Course and teaches his own course on Jazz and Orff Schulwerk throughout the world. He is the author of seven books, most recently Intery Mintery: Nursery Rhymes for Body, Voice and Orff Instruments.
