From Teaching With Orff and world-renowned educator Roger Sams, our very first online course refreshes and synthesizes how to teach composition and improvisation with your youngest musical learners.
In this self-paced course you’ll observe six lessons for young musicians in workshop format from Book 1 of Purposeful Pathways: Possibilities for the Elementary Music Educator, along with related commentary. Author Roger Sams models how to cultivate early skills in music literacy, composition, improvisation, and dance making through an integration of Orff Schulwerk, Kodály, and eurhythmics.
Roger Sams has helped music teachers around the world to discover their potential and become better educators by using tools and techniques he curated over 31 years of teaching music in public and private schools. Now you can access Roger’s training on your own schedule and learn what educators around the world have been raving about for years. He truly makes professional development personal.

Hi! I’m wondering if there is anyway to become Orff certified through online courses.
Thank you!
Hi Haley!
There is not currently online certification available for Orff levels. Certification will require an investment in official levels training. More information on AOSA approved certification courses can be found here https://aosa.org/professional-development/teacher-education-courses-summary/

I do not have a music degree but am working with students in a private school setting. Could I take this course? I love the lessons!
I am very interested. I have taking Orff Level I and II. I need some college credit to renew my teaching certificate and would love more Orff knowledge. When I clicked onto Ashland Univ. website I can’t find the course to register and pay. Can you help with that?
Hello! I am wondering how long you have access to the videos and material for. Do you get all the videos at once? I am interested in taking the Rogers Sams’ course, but wanting to be able to go at my pace.
Is there just the one course at this time?
