Carl Orff & Gunild Keetman

Music For Children - Volume 5 Minor Dominant and Subdominant Triads 📚

English Version 

For Voice, Recorder & Percussion

Carl Orff's "Music for Children" series is a cornerstone in music education, based on the idea that music naturally evolves from speech, rhythm, and movement. These educational principles, developed alongside Gunild Keetman, have profoundly influenced music and dance education globally.

The five foundational volumes of "Music for Children" were initially published in German between 1950 and 1954 and have since been adapted into numerous languages, including this English version, which was developed by Doreen Hall, Arnold Walter, and later Margaret Murray. This adaptation caters to the educational needs of teachers and students in the UK, Canada, and the United States.

This fifth volume continues to build on the modes introduced in Volume 4, incorporating more complex forms of the minor scale, including the sharpened seventh. The book concludes with settings for short dramatic scenes, offering a comprehensive resource for teaching music that integrates voice, recorder, and percussion.

This 148-page volume serves as an essential tool for educators looking to involve students in active music-making, blending music, dance, and language to foster creativity and expression in young learners.
