For many of these student, this elementary Orff music classroom will be their only source or opportunity to ever be in a musical performing "group." Even the day to day lessons in our classroom always contain a final performance. These public school students come to music excited and ready to learn a new skill. Many of my lessons integrate children's literature with music. (We have actually had runs on certain books in our library because of our activities in the music room!)
