Carl Orff devoted much of his life to music for children. His pioneering work continues under the guidance of teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of "Music for Children" by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Based on these original German volumes, here is the English adaptation with additional material by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter. Volume 1 focuses on pentatonic scales.
