Guzheng Teaching Based on the Orff Approach

This paper primarily studies the application of the Orff Approach in music class and integrates its basic concepts and methods into Guzheng teaching. The characteristics of the Orff music method emphasize students’ active participation and creative expression. Music can cultivate students’ musical abilities as well as their intellectual, emotional, social, and other developmental aspects. Influenced by traditional teaching models, many Guzheng instructors tend to focus too heavily on skills, neglecting the essential nature of rhythm and the actual needs of students, which ultimately affects teaching outcomes. Therefore, integrating the Orff Approach into Guzheng class may help improve the current situation.
