| | CARL ORFF | The Langley Schools Music Project |
 | | Orff believed that any child -- regardless of talent, cultural milieu, or physical constraint -- could partake of the joys of playing music with little or no traditional training. |
 | | Orff drew on the delicate, enchanting Indonesian gamelan orchestra and early African percussion for his diatonic and chromatic xylophones, glockenspiels, and metallophones. |
 | | Today, Orff organizations are based in the U.S. (85 chapters in all 50 states), Canada, most western and many eastern European nations (including Russia and Poland), Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, the People's Republic of China, and South Africa. |
