GTBAOC - A Chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association
The Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff
Chapter Mission:
The Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff Chapter of AOSA is organized by area music teachers to provide continuing education workshops within the Tampa Bay Area and the 6 surrounding counties. Orff-Schulwerk is an approach to early childhood, elementary and middle school music education based on the teachings of German composer, Carl Orff and his colleague, Gunild Keetman. Combining creativity, speech, movement, a variety of high quality repertoire, and the playing of instruments, the Orff approach is a child-centered, playful experience, producing children ready for success in all other curricula.
Join us for our Saturday workshops with nationally known clinicians. It will change how you teach music!!
Welcome to the Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff Chapter.

The Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff Chapter (GTBAOC) is a local non-profit organization for music educators. It is affiliated with the American Orff-Schulwerk Association (AOSA).
GTBAOC supports the Orff Schulwerk philosophy of incorporating music, movement, and speech concepts as developed by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman. All of these concepts center around the development of the total child.
Membership in the Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff Chapter also provides opportunities for continual development of the teacher. Active participation in our area workshops will inspire creative musical growth. By associating with other talented music educators, you can share ideas at a professional level. Teachers who are new to the Orff Schulwerk process and don't have access to the barred instruments, will be introduced to many other skills which still nurture the Orff process.
Begin a new musical journey for yourself and your students by becoming a member of the Greater Tampa Bay Area Orff Chapter.
It will be an experience you‘ll never forget!
