Alternative preschool education according to the pedagogical concept of Carl Orff

Abstract

Abstract Carl Orff's method of movement expression is one of the most original and innovative methods in preschool education. It is a method based on what is primal, innate, subconscious, providing children with many more opportunities for experiencing, expressing themselves through movement, creating, and experimenting, creating conditions for child development. A characteristic feature of this method is the integration of music with movement. Material and methods The article is of a monographic nature. Results The article discusses the use of Carl Orff's method in preschool education. Conclusions Carl Orff's method is an example of a pedagogical tool that allows for the synthetic achievement of educational goals at the preschool education level. It is a complementary program that opens up greater possibilities for participation in culture than any other program usually limited to one of its domains. It introduces intra- and interdisciplinary correlations, giving appropriate emphasis to activities assigned to specific types of education or teaching actions.
