The Orff Approach is a set of principles by which creative education can be organised. Primarily it uses a trinity of Art Forms: Music, Dance and Spoken Word, with two central themes that bind them together: Rhythm and Improvisation. The Orff Approach is not a linear method, nor is it a training programme for particular career paths, such as playing an instrument, joining a ballet company or becoming a poet. It does however offer a holistic grounding in the many skills and qualities that a person might want in living and or working creatively. It can sit alongside other curriculums or stand alone as a pathway for personal and professional creative development.
