Carl Orff
b. 7-10-1895; Munich, Germany
d. 3-29-1982

Composer Carl Orff developed a method of music education for children.

Carl Orff quotes ~
• “Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child's play.”
• “Experience first, then intellectualize.”
• “Elemental music is never just music. It's bound up with movement, dance and speech, and so it is a form of music in which one must participate, in which one is involved not as a listener but as a co-performer.”

Robert Owen
b. 5-14-1771; Newtown, Montgomeryshire, Wales
d. 11-17-1858

Social reformer and founder of the cooperative movement Robert Owen was the first to establish infant childcare in Great Britain. Owen also started the utopian community of New Harmony, Indiana in 1825.

Owen, who married Caroline the daughter of reform minded manufacturer David Dale, was also Dale's business partner in the New Lanark cotton mills along the River Clyde, not far from Glasgow, Scotland.

Owen's four sons became U.S. citizens: one was elected to Congress representing Indiana, one became a U.S. geologist surveying the northwest, and the youngest became a professor of natural science.

FYI ~ Owen is cited as being an influence on the thought of Nikolay Chernyshevsky.

Robert Owen quotes ~
• “Never argue; repeat your assertion.”
• “To train and educate the rising generation will at all times be the first object of society, to which every other will be subordinate.”
• “The three lower rooms (in the Institute) will be thrown open for the use of the adult part of the population, who are to be provided with every accommodation requisite to enable them to read, write, account, sew or play, converse or walk about. Two evenings in the week will be appropriated to dancing and music, but on these occasions, every accommodation will be prepared for those who prefer to study or to follow any of the occupations pursued on the other evenings.”
• “Where are these rational practices to be taught and acquired? Not within the four walls of a bare building, in which formality predominates . . . But in the nursery, play-ground, fields, gardens, workshops, manufactures, museums and class-rooms. . . . The facts collected from all these sources will be concentrated, explained, discussed, made obvious to all, and shown in their direct application to practice in all the business of life.”
