What is the difference between the Orff method of music teaching and the traditional music teaching method

Olf's principle of music education, that is, original music education. Original music is closely related to movement, dance, and language; it is music that people must participate in themselves, not as listeners, but as players: something that can be learned and experienced by everyone, and is suitable for children. Through the process of music performance, correctly assume their roles and develop a good character of concentration; with lively, colorful and joyful teaching forms; let students discover themselves, cultivate human creativity, self-confidence, concentration, cooperation, responsiveness and whole-person development.

The original model of music education in China was to simply teach singing - the textbooks also appeared mainly as one song, and then there were a few changes, and a few schools learned a little bit of instrumental music skills as well. Students mainly imitated ready-made musical works of art, very passive. Teachers are also serious about "producing results" and treat students harshly, so students naturally feel a sense of inexplicable pressure. Because of the innate qualities of the music in the human objectively has a great difference in our original curriculum requirements, there will always be a part of the students far from the teaching requirements; so they naturally on the music "far from it". Not only ignoring the emotional stimulation and experience of music, but also ignoring the subjectivity of students in music learning, initiative, personality and creativity.

Olf believes that the expression of thoughts and emotions is the instinctive desire of human beings and is naturally expressed through language, singing (including musical instruments), dance and other forms of expression, since ancient times, which is the original inherent ability of human beings.

From the original view of art: music, language, dance itself is linked together inseparably, children engaged in music learning behavior is actually a reproduction of the original human artistic activities. Children's music teaching activities can not be limited to the scope of music, this creation, performance, appreciation of the trinity, song, dance, music trinity of integrated teaching to children to create a comprehensive, rich, comprehensive aesthetic experience opportunities.
