Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Orff method in improving music course satisfaction with undergraduate music students. Known for its emphasis on active participation, creative expression, and collaborative learning, the Orff Method has gained popularity in music education. However, empirical research on the effects of research findings on student music course satisfaction in undergraduate music programs is limited. This study adopts a quasi-experiment research design and will select a sample of undergraduate music students in a university in Henan Province, China to participate in the research. The implementation of the Orff method will be incorporated into selected music courses, and the experiment group will experience the implementation of the Orff method, while the control group will receive regular music instruction. music course satisfaction surveys will be conducted to assess changes in course music course satisfaction. Data results are based on statistical analysis, including Descriptive Statistics and Paired Samples T-Test, which will be used to analyze the data and assess the impact of the Orff method on course music course satisfaction. The findings of this study provide evidence-based insights into the effectiveness of Orff's method in improving music course satisfaction in undergraduate music courses, will contribute to increasing the body of knowledge on innovative pedagogical methods to music education, and will contribute to existing knowledge about music education. This study will provide knowledge to future music researchers and music teachers.
