Join AOSA to connect with exceptional music and movement educators who, like you, pursue ongoing professional development in an atmosphere of creative exploration and musical discovery—the same joyful environment your students will experience in the Orff Schulwerk classroom.
AOSA is valuable to me because it has allowed me to develop my skill set, knowledge, performance, and confidence as a music educator. I am not sure this would have happened so quickly in my career (as I am only a 3rd year teacher) without the American Orff-Schulwerk Association.
– Meaghan Dunham
AOSA is filled with smart, open, creative, caring and energetic music education professionals who inspire me to be my best.
– Roxanne Dixon
AOSA helps me maintain connections with other Orff teachers; having the opportunity to collaborate with them in a field where colleagues may be few and far between is invaluable.
