Tue, 02/02/2021 LAWRENCE – The principles of a music education approach for children show promise when used as the basis for music therapy with adult cancer patients. That is the conclusion of a feasibility study co-written by Cindy Colwell, University of Kansas professor of music, and Jennifer Fiore, a KU alumna and current faculty member at Western Michigan University, and published online this fall in the Journal of Music Therapy. It’s one of two papers Colwell published online in 2020 that focus on adapting for therapeutic settings the music education system developed by German composer Carl Orff. It’s known today as Orff Schulwerk (schooling), or simply the Orff approach. Among other things, it involves playing borduns and repeated patterns (ostinato) on simple barred percussion (such as xylophones) or other classroom percussion instruments and improvising on top of those musical beds.
