Carl orff is a world-famous German composer and music educator. He created a unique music teaching method called "orff instruments". Can be divided into non-fixed pitch instruments and fixed pitch instruments.
In Orff's teaching, piano, violin and other musical instruments are generally not used, but exquisite percussion instruments are used. Orff instruments can be divided into two types: those with fixed pitch that can play melody and those without fixed pitch that can play rhythm.
Orff music teaching is a comprehensive teaching, which not only enables children to learn music and cultivate their musical ability, but also inspires language, imitation and creation. Orff's music teaching is an active teaching, which conforms to children's learning characteristics and makes them learn music happily and love music.
