Multicultural Music/Curricular Modes
1. Dalcroze Method

The children are interacting in this video by acting as if they are different animals by "flying" around the room. They walk/run around the room acting like they are walking on a country side then running on it. Then they act like they are climbing a mountain. This is showing their understanding of music through their body movements.
Some benefits of this approach can be felt not just in music but throughout the arts where movement is important: dancing, acting, musical theater, as well as increasing appreciation of other arts such as painting.
This method is different from the Kodaly method and the Orff method because it incorporates ear training, singing with syllables and focuses on body movement in response to music. They are able to show their knowledge of music through movement.
2. Kodaly Method

It was really hard finding a video of this approach in English but it still shows how it is being taught. Every student is actively engaged because they are all participating in the lesson. When they are singing the melody they all have the right hand gesture for the melody and are always moving their hands to show where it is supposed to be. They are demonstrating the scale by singing in unison to what he has written out and then demonstrate with their hands.
Some benefits of this method include: (1) improves musical literacy in schools; (2) singing is the foundation of musical learning; (2) it incorporates games, movement, reading and writing music with singing; and (3) it helps develop a child's natural learning development such as kinesthetic, abstract and recognizing the music.
This method is different from the Orff method and the Dalcroze method because it uses hand signs and rhythm syllables as teaching tools. Musical literacy with singing and music reading is central to its success. It also requires a relatively stable school population and time in the curriculum to be able to work.
3. Orff Method

This was one of my favorite approaches because I like for students to have the opportunity to use their creativity. The students all sing in rhythm by using their hands with the pitch they sing. They all skip around as she plays a song on the recorder. The teacher allows the children to create their own movement as well. She really engages the students by letting them come up with their own rhythms allowing them to be creative.
The biggest benefit that I think of for the Orff method would be that it engages both mind and body through mixing singing, dancing, acting, and the use of percussion instruments.
This method is different from the Kodaly method and the Dalcroze method because it is a student centered approach which basically allows them to make choices and connections among ideas of promoting communication. It encourages them to experience music through movement, singing, playing an instrument, and create music extemporaneously.
