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.

Statement of diversity

The Alberta Orff Chapter is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion to help build a well-rounded and inclusive music education experience in our communities.  We strive to create learning experiences among music educators that value and honour diverse perspectives while building relationships.  By inviting diverse clinicians and musicians to share their expertise, we inspire to enrich the educational landscape and learn to apply this to the Orff Schulwerk philosophy.
