This week was the final week of the Special Course at the Orff Institute in Salzburg! It was a bit sad to see such a great year come to an end but we had some wonderful celebrations to finish. On Tuesday we had our graduation (along with the bachelor and masters students) where we performed an ensemble piece. Then after that was the retirement celebration of our course coordinator Shirley Salmon where we also performed a song.
I will miss all my fellow students who are now dear friends, but will be attending the international Orff Schulwerk Summer Course and Orff Forum with some of them in July before leaving Salzburg for good.
In the last two weeks we went on excursions to Diessen in Germany to visit the Carl Orff Museum, Carl Orff's house (where the Orff Foundation have their offices) and Andechs where Carl Orff is buried. We also went to Munich where we went on a tour of Studio 49 instrument makers and the Orff Zentrum, a centre containing archives of Carl Orff's documents and other information about him, including a library and concert room.
