Saint Paul's offers two Orffestra ensembles for students in grades two through five. The purpose of the Orffestra ensembles is to learn, read, and compose pieces and accompaniments. Members frequently accompany the Saint Paul's Singers. Orrfestras perform on Orff instruments (xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels with removable bars for greater success), unpitched percussion instruments, and recorders. The students also learn choreography, including folk and original dances that they have created. |
