The San Francisco Orff Course is one of the largest and most prestigious Orff certification courses in North America. Started by Avon Gillespie at the University of Santa Cruz in 1983, the course moved to Mills College in 1994 and to The San Francisco School in 2006 under its present name. Each year, over 125 music specialists, dance teachers, classroom teachers and instrumental teachers come to learn how to effectively engage their students in joyful dance and music-making via the Orff approach. Last year, students came from Ghana, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Thailand, Korea, Australia and other places to study with our internationally-acclaimed faculty, all of whom are still working with children as well as training teachers. Faculty include Doug Goodkin (Course Director and Level III), Rick Layton and James Harding(Level II),
Sofia Lopez-Ibor and Paul Cribari (Level I), Helen Grindley and Christa Coogan (movement), Martha Crowell and Annette Bauer (recorder). We also offer a one-week class for both beginning and experienced teachers with Janet Greene and a master class taught by Keith Terry and Sofia Lopez-Ibor. Both these courses will take place the week before the level trainings, July 26th-30th. See brochure for details.
Limited scholarships are available. Please submit an application.
