Got lesson plans? Of course you have them. Do you actually have daily, detailed and specific plans for every grade level, every class? I doubt it. I'm a believer that daily lesson plans should be for teachers and not for administrators or even subs. Some administrators, not mine, insist that lesson plans be so detailed that a visiting teacher could walk in and teach your class by following your written plans. This is insanity. I have never met a master music teacher who writes or follows such detailed plans in the process of teaching. This does not mean that I don't have detailed lesson plans, complete with objectives and processes, on my hard drive or in a notebook. There was a time that I needed such a plan. In my real lesson plans, I may need to write down the name of a gathering activity or song, but I don't need to write out specific directions on how to conduct that activity. If I'm teaching a folk song, that will eventually be sung and accompanied by Orff Instruments and movement, all I need is my score. I don't need to write out how I will teach it. I know already that I will begin any lesson with speech and/or movement. I know that I will teach the rhythms first, add body percussion, teach the melody, put body percussion on instruments, and teach the ostinati and barred instrument parts of the orchestration. I don't write all that out!

Here's a quote from Diane Lange: "A trained Orff teacher can look at a piece of music, write an accompaniment, logically teach the instrument parts to every student, and ask the students to perform the piece at the conclusion of its instruction . "*
