    What a great program! If you are a educator interested the intersection of MUSIC, MOVEMENT, IMPROVISATION, and ideas about how to develop creativity within children you will want to investigate Orff Schulwerk and it’s organizations. This program reveals more evidence about why music education is one of the most important programs within schools.
