Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of “Music for Children”, based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech, rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of “Music for Children” by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Editions have since been published in Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ghana, Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition), Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latin-America, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA. In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students. A few years later, Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966), essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers.

It was in the mid-1950s that the ideas which Carl Orff established in his “Schulwerk” first achieved prominence in the United States and Canada; the publication in 1956 of Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter’s adaption into english represented the first venture in applying the original Carl Orff/Gunild Keetman work towards the needs of a different language and educational culture.
The new American Edition, developed twenty years later to meet the needs of a country with an immensely rich cultural and ethnic heritage, demanded a large and diverse team of collaborators to draw upon this wealth. Carl Orff and his publishers entrusted Hermann Regner from the Orff Institute in Salzburg with the concept and co-ordination of the series; in this way, the Edition would profit from the experience gained from all parts of the world in this adaption of Orff’s pedagogical ideas.

Playing Together is the first book to offer a step-by-step approach to teaching Orff-instrument skills, so your students develop secure mallet technique with ease. Skills are introduced in a carefully sequenced presentation of authentic and artistic music literature. The process begins with sound effects, proceeds to playing accompaniments, and – finally – melodies and two-part instrumental pieces. Three Orff-Schulwerk master teachers have also offered suggestions to encourage skillful playing and enjoyment.
