ABSTRACT

This study explores the application of the Orff teaching method in teaching Anhui folk songs, emphasizing active participation, creativity, and cultural integration.

Classroom experiments and surveys show that Orff-based teaching increases students' interest, improves rhythm and performance abilities, and strengthens their connection to local traditions. This study highlights Orff's potential to innovate music education and preserve traditional Chinese music heritage.
