:thankyou: very much, dovetail, Wan, jce, fristrom, meiah ! For each of you. Great, kind help! Truly much appreciated!


will call up those places you all suggest, sweetie! :rahrah:

Hi,

I've checked with my daughter's piano teacher, she's a trainer in Orff music learning. You can try Curtis Music School at King's Arcade at Bukit Timah. However, it is for pre-pri and group work. There need to have enough kids to start a class. You can call and check.

She mentioned that Orff is a process and it's great when the kid can experience it everyday, say in a childcare environment where getting a group of kids to do together is also not a problem. Pat's School House is using the program, there could be others.

Saw it at their counter.

For about 30 students in my group, some are private music teacher, some are music teacher in pre-school, primary school etc. I don’t think there is any music program that uses exclusively Orff approach (nor Kodaly, nor Dalcroze, nor even Suzuki etc.). A typical pre-school music program will be taking methods/philosophy from different schools. What really matters, as far as these programs are concerned, is that the teacher has to love music and teaching.

Maybe you can contact them at 6452311 and check whether there are any trained teachers around using this method to teach in music schools or privately. I hope this association is still around and that the number is still in use. Info I have is from a few years back.

There’s a training held in S’pore every other year but sorry, don’t know any schools who have trained teachers teaching using this method.

couldn’t watch your video as iPad has no flash. Saw the instruments in the linked site. YES, her teacher was using those instruments, the glockenspiels and xylophones. She told me when she joined Ascension, she introduced Orff to the school. I guess they discontinued as they couldn’t get trained teachers to carry it on.

dovetail:
I'm not sure if it's the same Orff. My girl's piano teacher knows Orff music. I think she was trained. She introduced it to Ascension Kindergarten last time. She has left many years ago. You can check if Ascension still does Orff music. Ascension has a lot of good percussion instruments. It used to have a good music program, not sure about now.


When I see her next week, I can check with her where else to learn Orff.
Ascension should be using ABC Music & Me from Kindermusik cos my dd receives the take home kits. As for Orff, not sure if have.

But frankly, I dunno if it is orff way or not. I’m not sure how his class was conducted, only attended their performance

Thanks for the useful tip. However, my child not in Ascension kindergarten. Hence, would appreciate very much if you can help ask yr friend, see if this music teacher is teaching 'Carr Orff' music anywhere.

'Carr Orff' music founded by German composer has a very unique way of imparting musical skills to children. Thank you so much for yr great help, sweetie!

truly appreciate very much,
:thankyou:
