Welcome to the Greater Des Moines chapter of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association! We have been providing central Iowa music teachers with professional opportunities to develop their skills in the creative music and movement education approach, developed by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman for years.
Our annual fall workshop brings both regional and national master Orff practitioners to our chapter to provide in-depth instruction on different topics in Orff pedagogy. Chapter sharing, networking, mentoring, and support in small group settings are also offered throughout the school year. We would like to welcome anyone to become a member of the Greater Des Moines Orff chapter, whether you have had levels training, no training or are just getting started. We are fully inclusive of the various joyful and active music making approaches, with students of all ages.
We hope you will join us soon for a workshop, discussion, or sharing session! Please check back to this website often for upcoming events and information.
Michael Jones,
Greater Des Moines Chapter President
