Orff's music education system is one of the three most famous and influential music education systems in the world today.
In Orff's music class, children have the opportunity to enter a rich artistic world. Music is no longer just melody and rhythm, but is related to nursery rhymes, rhythm, dance, drama performance and even painting, sculpture and other visual arts.
They may pay attention to a specific sound source under the guidance of the teacher to listen, distinguish and imagine different sounds from life and nature.
