Color permeates every aspect of our lives and influences our thoughts, actions, and emotions from the first moment we become aware of our surroundings, establishing and dictating what pleases us individually.

Music is also color; its vibrations, saturations, and hues add nuance and excitement to our daily lives as music on the page comes to life. These colorful and color-rich songs and activities invite your students to increased awareness of aural color traditions.

Aimee's new book presents songs, games, and activities filled with sound colors inspired by the colors of life. Perfect for elementary students of all grade levels. Supplemental materials include spectacular full color visuals for print or projection.

About Aimee

Aimee Curtis Pfitzner has been a teacher of Orff-Schulwerk for twenty-eight years, receiving her Master level Orff certification from the University of Memphis. She holds a Masters Degree in Music Education from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, and a Bachelors Degree in Music Education from the University of Maine, Orono. Aimee presents workshops for local, state, national, and international conferences and contributes regularly to her blog, ofortunaorff.com

When not singing, teaching or presenting, Aimee can be found looking for sea glass in Maine, kayaking, hiking, exploring, sewing, painting, doodling, and creating jewelry.

 I'm a little off-beat; funky, creative, crafty, with eclectic music tastes. I am known to my students as being funny, silly, and a bit goofy. I'm a proud Maineiac, born and raised in Maine, but am proud to be able to say “y’all” like a true Southerner, having lived in North Carolina for the past 24 years. I love to travel but would rather be an explorer than a tourist and come away being changed by the experience. I have an amazing hubby and an artistic and lovely 14-year old daughter. I'm passionate about teaching music, creativity, my faith, and adoption (our daughter was born in China). I hope you find some things to add excitement, engagement, and creativity to your classrooms! ~Aimee
