Hello Gault families. My name is Moshe Vilozny and I am the new music teacher at Gault. This year for our afterschool music program, Gault will be offering Orff Ensemble to 4th and 5th graders on Mondays and Thursdays from 2:45pm to 3:45pm in the music room A3.
What is Orff Ensemble? The Orff approach to music education combines music, movement, and play. Up until a few years ago Gault partnered with El Sistema for the afterschool music program. El Sistema incorporated the Orff approach and instrumentation which includes mallet instruments such as xylophones, metallophones, & glockenspiels, as well as percussion instruments, recorders, ukuleles and more. Gault has an incredible assortment of Orff instruments for students to use, so they will not need to purchase or bring instruments to school for band practice. This program will be offered on a first come first serve basis to 4th and 5th grade students who sign up until the class is full.
