Teacher Education Courses

Carl Orff Canada offers an exciting, internationally recognized certification program for teachers at universities and conservatories across Canada. It is a three year program made up of Levels I, II and III. Upon completion of all three levels, each of which has been endorsed by Carl Orff Canada, a certificate is awarded. Further professional learning opportunities are available throughout Canada through workshops, master level courses, and peer coaching as well as through the Mentorship program.

We invite everyone to join the Facebook Carl Orff Canada Discussion Group, in order to support teachers who are now teaching music from home.

 

Post-Level III Certification:

The Post-Level III Certification program which previously provided endorsement for courses of continued professional development and study in Orff-based pedagogy subsequent to Levels I, II and III was discontinued in April 2018. All candidates who are currently enrolled in the program should complete program requirements prior to September 2023.

For information about completion of the Post Level III Certification program and application procedures, please contact the Carl Orff Canada Second Vice-President.


COC Mentorship Program for Levels Course Instructors:
