Adapted by Margaret Murray

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.

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.
