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.
