Greater Cleveland Orff

Greater Cleveland Orff
The Greater Cleveland Orff Chapter was the first chapter chartered at the AOSA National Conference on April 25, 1970. Chapter One is a professional organization of music and movement educators dedicated to the creative teaching approach developed by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman. We are joined by our belief that learning about music – learning to sing and play, to hear and understand, to move and create – should be an active and joyful experience
