The GREATER CINCINNATI CHAPTER of AOSA
was chartered on April 26, l970 and
was the seventh chapter to be chartered in the United States.

For the past thirty-eight years this strong, active chapter has been dedicated
to bringing you the best of Orff teaching techniques that are available.

By bringing a wide variety of clinicians to Cincinnati,
we hope to serve your professional needs for growth
through new ideas and techniques for use with your students.

We are excited about the workshop calendar we offer for the coming year
and hope you will join us on these scheduled dates.

What Is Orff-Schulwerk?

"Schulwerk" is German for "schooling" (in music) through "work."

Orff-Schulwerk is a way to teach and learn music. It is based on things children like to do: sing, chant rhymes, clap, dance, and keep a beat on anything near at hand. These instincts are directed into learning music by hearing and making music first, then reading and writing it later.

Composer Carl Orff and his associate Gunild Keetman evolved the basic texts for the Schulwerk as models for teachers worldwide. Now translated into eighteen languages, Orff Schulwerk is based on the traditional music and folklore of each country in which it is used. At present more than 10,000 teachers in the United States have found the Schulwerk the ideal way to present the magic of music to their students.
