Carl Orff (1895-1982) is one of the famous composers of the 20th century, and his master piece “Carmina Burana” has been performed all over the world until now. His contribution to music education is just as important as composition. Started with the three basic directions-- “Music,” “Movement”, and “Speech”, Orff then added different elements of music, dance, poetry, literature, and drama. With the emphasis of “humaninity”, Orff Method is a comprehensive art education, which served various functions. When he established the school for gymnastics, musicand dance, with Dorothee Günther, Orff composed the Klavier Übung, which was published in 1933 with two volumes, for the reuired piano lessons and basic music skill training. Orff then established the unique Drone method to train the polyphonic and improvising skills, with two or more students playing one or two pianos. And these scores were recorded from memory in the third book of his totally eight books of working diary. This study is based on the two scores of the composer and other related reference sources. This paper is divided into five parts: 1) Introduction of Carl Orff’s life, experience, and thought. 2) Explanation of how did Orff Method started and evolved, with detailed information of each stage and important people. 3) Analysis of the piano practice, and demonstration of forty short pieces with guidelines including melody, rhythm and chord. 4) Uniqueness of Orff Method’s piano practice with references of fifteen practice pieces. 5) Conclusion. The purpose of this study is not to find a new set of teaching method and material, but to bring out the important elements of Orff Method with intense study, to reorganize and identify the parts, and to strengthen the educators’ understanding, both theoretically and practically, of the Orff Method. The most amazing result is to see how the Orff Method’s ideal is being spread out and applied well to the real teaching.
