Teacher Mark Phinney taps into a child's world of play using the Orff Schulwerk Method at John James Audubon School 33 in Rochester, New York. His students range from kindergarten age to sixth grade, and he says he loves working with them.
The Orff Schulwerk Method is vastly different from the way Mark learned to make music.
"We were basically in the 'sit and get.' We sat and we were told, and that's what we did. Here, you come in and you DO. It's constant activity, music-making, and prepping to make the music. The kids take over!"
