<p>Grades K-5 * Over the years, millions of students have been taught to sing in tune by using Loretta Mitchell's best-selling book, "One, Two, Three...Echo Me!" (30/1800H). By popular demand, teachers can now bring these favorite songs into their Orff classroom. "One, Two, Three...Echo Me! Orff Companion" is a collection of songs with Orff accompaniments that can be used by itself or as a supplement to the original book. The arrangements and suggested processes reflect the Orff approach of combining rhythmic speech, singing, instrument playing, movement, and improvisation together. "One, Two, Three...Echo Me! Orff Companion" is not only for experienced Orff teachers. A detailed process for teaching the instruments is given with each arrangement, so those teachers with little or no Orff training can easily find success. / General Music / Unison, Orff Instrument</p>

Grades 2-6 * The jazz chops of Cathy Blair meet the accessible Orff approach of Donna Dirksing in this exciting introduction to improvisation and other jazz concepts. (Not quite sure what "chops" are? Don't worry; it's defined in the Glossary.) Organized in three sections-Jazz Is Rhythm, Jazz Is Melody and Jazz Is Form-each follows the speech to body percussion to singing and playing instruments sequence used in Orff lessons. And with more than a dozen Orff arrangements, your students will be doing plenty of playing! The included CD features many speech and instrument echo examples, demo recordings of the Orff ensembles, and optional accompaniment tracks for improvisation, many of which feature a real rhythm section. It's just one more component to help you and your students "Get in the Groove!"
