Welcome to BC ORFF
Music for Children | Musique pour enfants
As a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting music educators in bringing the joy of music making to children and adults of all ages and races, Carl Orff Canada supports the end of systemic racism and oppression. As we continue to learn the truths of residential schools and their impact and as more graves are uncovered, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples across Canada, the survivors, families, and those deeply impacted by these atrocities.
COC commits to continuing a process of deep reflection upon our practices and culture as they relate to diversity and in particular, people of colour and Indigenous Peoples. We are listening, and we are engaged in educating ourselves and our students.
To inspire, connect, and support educators in music and movement, fostering active engagement of all learners through the creative and collaborative Orff Schulwerk approach.
