Lesson Planning
Song List
There are Orff arrangements available throughout the song list. An easy way to quickly tell if a song has an Orff arrangement is to look at the Notes column when you're on the song list page.
When you click on a song, you will find the Orff arrangement under the Supporting Resources > Arrangements.
