Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child's play.

Land Acknowledgement
The Alberta Orff Chapter is based in amiskwaciy-wâskahikanand invites members across treaties 6, 7, 8 to learn, create, play and perform on the traditional gathering places of the Nêhiýaw, Dene, Dunne-za, Dene Tha’, Nakota Sioux, Siksikaitsitapi, the Métis homeland, and Inuit.
As an act of reconciliation, the chapter is committed to learning from knowledge keepers, elders and artists from these Indigenous communities. We invite these important community members to share their culture, language, teachings, music and dance with our community. With these teachings, our members are encouraged to help grow a generation of students who are committed to reconciliation through the arts.

Diversity - Equity - Inclusion
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 advocates for the end of systemic racism and oppression.
In this time of mourning for the children whose remains have been uncovered at the residential schools, Carl Orff Canada stands in support with all Indigenous Peoples across Canada, the survivors, families, and all 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.
