Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Hall, Doreen, 1921- : After moving to Ontario, Irish-born educator and violinist Doreen Hall began violin lessons, first with her father and then with Elie Spivak at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. From 1942 to 1945, she taught violin at Alma College in St. Thomas, Ontario, and for a number of years, she headed the strings department at Mount Allison University. Having obtained a bursary, she then embarked on further studies with Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman in Salzburg. Fascinated by the Orff-Schulwerk method, she was the first to introduce it to North America when she instituted Orff instruction at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. In 1956, she became a professor at the University of Toronto, and the next year, she set up Orff method-inspired summer courses entitled Music for Children. She also wrote a number of important books including Music for Children: Orff-Schulwerk Teachers' Manual and Nursery Rhymes and Songs. In 1974, she founded the Orff-Schulwerk Society of Canada, which subsequently became Music for Children - Carl Orff, Canada - Musique pour enfants. In 1989, she received the Canadian Music Council Medal and in 1990 the Pro Merito Medal from the Carl Orff Foundation of Germany.
